What a phenomenal financial year Sunrise has had!
💛 Whether it’s $5 a week or a generous lump sum — every gift makes a difference. Thank you!
Welcome to Sunrise Foundation
Sunrise Foundation has supported over 160+ charities and local community groups since our inception in 2014.
Sunrise enables generous people to make a bigger impact in their communities, by investing donations and distributing the returns to causes close to their hearts, year after year.
By connecting donors with local causes they care about, we provide Tairāwhiti-Gisborne charities with long-term, sustainable income. Unlike other charitable giving, our smarter giving model is built to last – making your giving go further.
All money raised here, stays here.

"I like knowing the support would go on forever, rather than giving a lump sum that would be gone when it was gone."
