Booster Foundation

We support New Zealanders & their communities to improve their financial resilience and reduce financial inequality.

Individual Impact A significant proportion of New Zealanders are ill-prepared for dealing with short-term unexpected expenses or falls in income, including those currently in employment.

Community Impact This is compounded by the rising cost of living and increasingly inaccessible housing and often underpinned by systemic inequalities.

Limited financial resilience has a profound effect on the wellbeing and opportunities for tamariki/children, whānau/families in our hapori/communities.

Responsiveness

We’re guided by the needs of the communities and organisations we serve, and make decisions, accordingly.

Transparency

We communicate honestly with partners and stakeholders about our decisions, directions, progress and any potential challenges.

Altruism

We share our knowledge and learnings with the wider industry, so they can join us on the journey of helping Kiwis improve their financial resilience.

Trust

We recognise that our partners are experts in their fields, providing us with informed insights and knowledge to reach the collective goal.

Inclusion

We recognise and value diversity in Kiwi communities, and are strongly committed to nurturing social cohesion, diversity, and inclusion.

Collaboration

The issues at hand are complex – however, we will make greater strides to make a bigger impact when we collaborate with others along the way.

We partner by

Building strong trust-based relationships with a core cohort of partners
Making multi-year commitments in principle
Providing flexible funding
Helping to build the capacity and sustainability of our partners and their programmes
Focusing on understanding impact, while limiting administrative and reporting burden on partners
Learning from one another and sharing what we learn with the wider community
Innovating/co-creating together when it makes sense
