Courtney Bourns's Presentation

Philanthropy New Zealand and OCVS hosted Courtney Bourns, Director of Programs for Grantmakers for Effective Oganisations (GEO), at several funders forums around New Zealand in June/July 08. 

The focus of the forums was to hear about the GEO’s Change Agent Project and its findings of how grantmakers can be more responsive to grantseekers.

Philanthropy in action

After I have gone

Colin Toop worked hard all his life. After he retired he started thinking more about how he could make a lasting difference to his community.

We provide services and professional development to people working in the philanthropic environment in Aotearoa, New Zealand.

A philanthropist or grantmaker is a person committed to making a difference in their community through money they give.

It is all about giving. But giving is not only about money. You can also give the gift of your time. Every New Zealander giving their time, their money, their experience, and their skills helps to enrich our society.
