Working together.

At Weave, we know the power of collaboration. We are eight Family Foundations (formerly the ‘Working Together More Fund’), who work collectively to support community projects that bring groups together to make positive change.

What we’re looking for

Collaboration is about working together to create positive change. For us, collaboration means two or more organisations or groups forming a partnership to work collaboratively to achieve the same outcome – in Weave’s case, to increase positive outcomes for New Zealanders, our communities and environment.

Truest collaboration comes not from simply achieving an outcome together, but from lifting the mana of other collaborators towards a shared vision of greater good.

Work with Weave.

Collaboration can add value, amplify a message, achieve greater impact, and better serve people as a result – something we know from our own experience of working together as a group of Family Foundations.

We have created Weave as a hub through which we can support the collaborative work of community groups around the country.

Weave offers funding opportunities, resources and tools for groups who want to work collectively for positive change in their communities.

  • Funding ranges from small, discretionary donations through to larger long-term grants

  • Proactive Relationship Based Funder - we will be actively looking for opportunities to collaborate and partner with our communities via our collaboration hub and environmental scanning

  • On-going partnership support is available through training, resources and mentors
