Make your giving go further

Clutha Foundation connects generous people with causes that matter in the Clutha District. Our innovative giving model transforms your charitable donation into an investment that is protected and preserved. As your gift grows over time, the interest earned is used to support the causes you love every single year, forever.

You don’t have to be wealthy to make a difference in your community.  Creating a compassionate, caring community just needs kind and thoughtful people.  Whether it’s a large or small gift, a one-off or regular contribution, every donation makes an impact through our smarter giving model.

HOW OUR GIVING MODEL WORKS

Healthy, vibrant communities require long-term, sustainable support.  With Clutha Foundation, your generosity has an on-going impact. Your donation is invested so it can grow and become a long-term reliable funding stream. The income your gift earns is distributed annually to worthy community organisations in the Clutha District. Your original gift remains protected so it can continue to benefit your chosen causes in the community, forever!
