Advancing New Zealand

MASSEY UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION

1 There’s a new Kiwi spirit shaping our nation. Gone is the old attitude of “she’ll be right’ – the lack of confi dence in our own ability. Today we know that we can take on the best the world has to offer, and that we can do it better: a new New Zealand is emerging.

Massey’s intellect, invention and creativity is the driving force behind this change. Our people are the engine driving New Zealand forward, taking the best of New Zealand to the rest of the world.

Key to fuelling this engine is investing in the best facilities, the brightest students, and attracting, retaining and developing the very best staff. You can help by giving generously today to one of our projects.

The Massey University Foundation is the University’s registered charity, which fosters philanthropy at Massey. Founded in 2004, the Foundation’s vision is to grow its endowment to ensure that Massey continues to defi ne New Zealand – contributing to its life and economy through its excellent teaching, research and invention. 2 Mark Elmore | Massey Alumni Kate Sylvester | Massey Alumni Kirsty Hammond | Massey Graduate Kerri Morgan | Massey Wildlife Health Vet Industrial Designer.

Why give to Massey?

Since our beginnings as a leader in the primary sector, Massey has played an integral role in the advancement and development of New Zealand. Today our people continue to drive the inventiveness of the ‘new’ New Zealand, and its global success. It’s the support of our friends, alumni and staff that will enable us to continue carving a niche for New Zealand in the 21st century.

As the engine of this new New Zealand, Massey is a powerhouse of intellect, invention and creativity. We will use this capability to drive New Zealand forward, taking the best of New Zealand to the rest of the world.

Massey University Heritage Fund

Objective – To raise $6 million for the restoration of Massey Heritage buildings, the Sir Geoffery Peren Building (Old Main Building) and Refectory. Massey has a rich and diverse heritage which is refl ected in the grounds and buildings of its campuses. As it approaches its 90th anniversary, preserving its heritage takes on new signifi cance and Massey has created the The Massey University Heritage Precinct in order to ensure that some of its oldest and best known buildings are preserved for future generations. The precinct is an area of historic importance on the Manawatu campus consisting of the Sir Geoffrey Peren Building, Refectory, Old Registry and Tiritea House. These unique buildings are in need of much upgrading to preserve them for future generations. 6 The New Zealand Wildlife Health Centre hospital

Objective – To raise $1.4 million to build a new hospital and aviary facilities that will enable the NZWHC to treat many more animals and improve success rates of returning them to the wild The New Zealand Wildlife Health Centre (NZWHC) looks after New Zealand’s wildlife. The centre’s work includes a rapid response oil spill unit to deal with animals affected by oil spills, a diagnostic service for captive and free-living animals, a clinic for sick and injured wildlife, a unit for the health and welfare of marine mammals and a research unit to understand, prevent and treat diseases in wild animals. The team is currently fundraising to gather $1.4 million for a new hospital and aviary which will allow them to treat many more animals and successfully return them to their natural habitat.

7 The Innovation Fund

Objective – To fund early stage research

Your gift will support early stage research projects that are promising but require further funding to reach ‘proof of concept’. These ‘early stage’ research projects typically require $10,000 - $50,000 of funding to allow them to carry out research that would validate the idea and enable them to reach ‘proof of concept’. Securing funding for these projects is often challenging, resulting in many promising projects never achieving their potential. Your valuable contribution will help to ensure these projects realise their full potential – many of which will go on to advance discovery and challenge existing assumptions, not just in New Zealand, but throughout the world.

8 The Professor Brian Murphy Scholarship Fund

Objective – To create a fund of $400,000 for a scholarship for senior students completing research in marketing, business ethics or future studies.

Professor Murphy died suddenly, in October 2006, when he was acting head of the Department of Commerce at the College of Business on the University’s Albany campus. Professor Murphy was known as a prominent practitioner of marketing research. He spent more than 40 years exploring research methodology that would keep him at the front of his fi eld as a teacher and in practice. In the late 1960s he co-founded the National Research Bureau and was a key fi gure in establishing the political opinion polls that made regular headlines in and helped shape public opinion on the performance of the political leaders.

9 The New Zealand Institute for Advanced Study

SIR NEIL WATERS SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Objective – To create an endowment fund of $500,000 for a scholarship in fundamental sciences.

The New Zealand Institute for Advanced Study (NZIAS) was founded to provide an environment where scholars of exceptional calibre can pursue interdisciplinary fundamental scholarship. Presently the institute provides a supportive environment for a team of fi ve scientists, all with true international reputations. In order to allow more young people to learn from, and study with, this distinguished professoriate, the NZIAS is fundraising to support the Sir Neil Waters Scholarship for postgraduate study.

Sir Neil Waters was Vice-Chancellor from 1983 to 1995 and led Massey through a period of prolonged change and growth. Among his most notable achievements were the transformation of the University’s research capability and, in 1993, the establishment of the Albany campus.

10 The College Development Funds College Funds are to be used at the discretion of the College Pro-Vice Chancellor (with approval from the Foundation board) for the development and advancement of the College. Both the College of Education and the College of Business have development funds that you can make a gift to.

There is more information on bequests on Page 13. 12 Bequests

Making a bequest in your will is perhaps the most personal commitment you can make towards the future of others. We value it immensely because you have entrusted us to fulfi l your dreams and plans. A bequest can lead to many successes. It can provide scholarships for undergraduate and postgraduate study – a very direct way of supporting students and helping them reach their goals. Bequests can advance the work of our leading researchers in areas of agri-food, science, arts, design and music, humanities and social sciences, and business. This work is often crucial to projects of national signifi cance as Massey has a proud history of leading advancements in many areas that are of vital importance to New Zealand. Bequests can also make a signifi cant contribution to the building of contemporary facilities that will attract the best staff and students from around the world, ensuring that Massey remains at the cutting edge of education. A targeted bequest can enable you to identify a specifi c area of your choice in which to advance the work being undertaken at Massey. Alternatively, your bequest could be described as an unrestricted or general gift, allowing the University to allocate resources when a particular opportunity develops. Whatever the purpose of the gift, we guarantee that the money will be spent according to the instructions you make. The most common types of bequests are, pecuniary bequests, a fi xed amount left in a will; and residuary bequests, the remaining value of an estate when all other bequests to family and friends have been made and liabilities have been paid.

Making a bequest is a reasonably simple procedure but one that requires great care. It is advisable to work with a lawyer, the Public Trust or another qualifi ed agency. 13 The Honourable Steve Maharey Vice-Chancellor, Massey University

New Zealand’s place in the world has changed. A new New Zealand is emerging. New Zealanders are carving out a future for themselves confi dent that they have something unique to offer the world. They aspire to achieve big things, break new ground and mark out a distinct Kiwi world view.

As New Zealand and the world have changed, so have we.

Having been instrumental in defi ning the New Zealand of the past century, Massey University is determined to play a central role in the New Zealand of the 21st century. And, as competition for Government funding mounts, Massey University Foundation and the Advancing New Zealand campaign take on increased signifi cance for the ongoing prosperity of the University.
