Our story Inspired by the work of a worldwide network Working with our regional committees in Porirua, of community foundations, Nikau Foundation Kāpiti and Wairarapa, Nikau Foundation continues to was established in 1991, the first of its kind in widen our reach and lay down roots for more impactful Aotearoa New Zealand.

Nikau Foundation is the Wellington region’s community foundation. Together, we are building a lasting legacy for the people and places we love. 2 Nikau Foundation IMPACT REPORT 2020 Our philosophy Meaningful, personalised giving Guided by the principle of meaningful giving, our donors decide who and what their gift goes to. Whether you are establishing an individual fund, choosing to give as a family or giving as a way of honouring a loved one, all gifts will be distributed in a way that resonates most. Smart investment for long-term impact With a focus on building sustainable funding streams to achieve long-term community transformation, donations are invested smartly. It is the income your giving earns that will be distributed to local causes – the gift itself remains protected so it can continue to support causes that resonate with you well into the future. Our model offers enduring trusteeship, meaning your fund will be guided and governed by a team of passionate, professional and connected people for ever. Connectedness With an extensive network throughout the Wellington region, Nikau Foundation is deeply rooted in our local community. Through our connections, we are not only aware of important community projects and initiatives but also where the biggest opportunities for philanthropic impact lie. This means that we are perfectly placed to maximise the impact of your gift. Whether it be the arts, te ao Māori, education or research, health, environment or youth development, we work with you to find the causes that speak to you the most. Transparent and trusted We are transparent in all our processes and ensure that our donors feel connected and informed with the investment they are making in the community. We are cost-effective – taking care of all the administration, reporting and financial management. If you have an existing charitable trust or are considering establishing one, Nikau Foundation can offer easier options for management around compliance, investments, effective grant-making and more. We provide the means to run the equivalent of a charitable trust without the significant workload, while your trust’s original purpose continues on. 3 Letter from the Chair It has been said that COVID-19 accelerated the future, and that is certainly true for Nikau Foundation. This year, our systems, policies and the Board of Trustees and staff were fully stress tested as we navigated the ‘new normal’. I am pleased to report that, despite the chaos, Nikau’s endowment funds under management increased we made substantial progress on all fronts. over the year by 24% to over $18 million, driven by new endowments and fund transfers. As Nikau’s reputation I would like to acknowledge the commitment and and public awareness grows, the outlook for the coming hard work of all staff and trustees and the Kāpiti, year is for continued or even stronger momentum. Porirua and Wairarapa district committees, which has Taking into account corporate trusteeships (principally propelled Nikau to its best year yet and enabled us to the Michael & Suzanne Borrin Foundation), our total emerge full of confidence for the future. In particular, managed funds now exceed $69 million. I would like to acknowledge the leadership of Alice Montague, our Executive Director. Perhaps the most significant step forward taken this year was the adoption of a new distribution policy. I would also like to recognise the work of our partner This policy ensures that we are able to sustainably community organisations, whose collective generosity, distribute 3.5% annually, maintaining the real value of flexibility and dynamism really shone in the face of endowments whether markets are up or down. A key unprecedented challenges. benefit to the community is that, when hard times strike By the time lockdown arrived, Nikau was on its way and funds are needed most, Nikau will continue to issue to working in the cloud, and we were able to operate grants at normal levels. The policy also frees up Nikau to remotely and effectively. This allowed us to focus on focus on total investment returns rather than investing some major strategic projects that might otherwise for income and yield. By adopting this model, our donors have taken far longer to complete – a new website, can be assured that their gifts will continue to have their a new customer relationship management system full impact for ever. and the final roll-out of our new branding.

  • 1 90Th Anniversary Toast to the Auld Rock & the Shetland Society Of
    90th Anniversary Toast to The Auld Rock & The Shetland Society of Wellington President Andrew, members of the Shetland Society of Wellington Management Committee, Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening: First of all, to the Management Committee thank you for according me the privilege of proposing a toast to The Auld Rock and the Shetland Society of Wellington. It's an honour that I accepted with some reluctance, as I knew that Rose and I would only be returning from overseas three nights before tonight’s celebration. I trust you’ll forgive me if I seem a little jet-lagged. However, as your Past President, I'll be very mindful of the words of a previous Past President, my older sister Mary, who always gave me the same piece of advice – and it didn't matter what the occasion was - Mary would always say “now, dunna spaek ower lang”! Now that didn’t do anything to help my nerves, but nevertheless I'll do as I always did Mary, “an joost do as I’m been telt!” It's a great cause for celebration when anyone, or any organisation for that matter, reaches their 90th birthday. But we are not celebrating our 90th birthday tonight, but the 90th Anniversary of our incorporation – and there is a great difference. We know that the society did not suddenly come into being overnight, but grew as early Shetland emigrants wanted to offer new arrivals from “the Auld Rock” their friendship, as well as assistance and support as they settled into their new country. We know that as far back as 1906 visiting Shetlanders could find a welcome in various homes in Wellington.

  • A Poststructural Analysis of the Health and Wellbeing of Young Lesbian Identified Women in New Zealand
    A Poststructural Analysis of the Health and Wellbeing of Young Lesbian Identified Women in New Zealand. Katie Palmer du Preez A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). 2016 Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences. School of Clinical Sciences. ABSTRACT New Zealand is regarded internationally as a forerunner in the recognition of gay rights. Despite the wide circulation of discourses of gay rights and equality, research shows that young women who identify as lesbian continue to be marginalised by society, which constrains their health and wellbeing. This study was an inquiry into the health and wellbeing of young lesbians in New Zealand, from a poststructural feminist perspective. It posed the research question: what are the discourses in play in relation to the health and wellbeing of young lesbian identified women in New Zealand? The methodology employed was a poststructural feminist discourse analysis, drawing on the philosopher Michel Foucault’s concepts of genealogy and the history of the present. Interviews with young lesbians were conducted in 2012 amid public debate around same- sex marriage. Historical data sources were the extant texts Broadsheet, a feminist periodical with strong health and wellbeing emphasis, and Hansard, a record of New Zealand parliamentary debate. Issues of these publications were selected from the early 1970s, during which the second wave feminist movement emerged, and the mid-1980s when the campaign for Homosexual Law Reform took place in New Zealand. The discourse analysis made visible the production of multiple ‘truths’ of young lesbian health and wellbeing.

  • This Is Wellington the Representation of Wellington in New Zealand
    THIS IS WELLINGTON I This is Wellington The Representation of Wellington in New Zealand Tourism Film from 1912 to 2017 By Diego Bonelli A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington (2018) THIS IS WELLINGTON II THIS IS WELLINGTON III ABSTRACT This thesis analyses the representation of Wellington in tourism films between 1912, the year in which the first New Zealand tourism film depicting Wellington was released, until 2017, the production year of the last case study. It also aims to trace both the dynamics of formal, stylistic and narrative development and the contexts of circulation of New Zealand tourism film. This thesis relies on the textual analysis of case studies conceived for different distribution platforms, selected according to their stylistic, formal, thematic and narrative relevance and to the availability of related archival documents; on the analysis of archival material related to New Zealand film production; on interviews with key informants involved in local tourism film production and tourism marketing; on the analysis of scholarly sources. This research argues that the depiction of Wellington has been regularly underpinned by a set of economic, social and political factors that changed throughout time and that determined shifts and turning points in its representation. More broadly, it observes how New Zealand tourism film was on the one hand characterised by a tendency towards formal, stylistic and narrative experimentation while on the other it was constantly subjected to forms of institutional planning and control. This thesis aims to contribute to film studies in different ways.
