Welcome

The J R McKenzie Trust makes grants to community organisations in New Zealand, mainly in the areas of social services, health services and community development.  You can check out whether your organisation might be eligible for a grant, and download our application forms.

The Trust's purpose is to improve the quality of life of New Zealanders who have special needs, or face disadvantage. 

Our focus is on social, health and developmental needs, especially but not only for children, young people, and people with disabilities. We work to achieve this by:
  • Making grants to charitable organisations where they contribute the most to our purpose
  • Supporting innovative approaches that address needs and prevent problems
  • Assisting organisations to make their services more effective in empowering the people they serve
  • Working collaboratively with other funding bodies.
