Acorn Foundation

The Acorn Foundation (established 2003) is a Community Foundation whose underlying principle of a community foundation is that “Generosity begins on Main Street”. In other words, we believe that people want to support causes close to home, and often close to the heart.

The Foundation provides a vehicle through which people can make a contribution to the Tauranga and Western Bay of Plenty communities every year, forever.
