Otago Community Trust

The Otago Community Trust is a philanthropic organisation which applies its Trust funds for charitable and other purposes which are of benefit to the community. We provide grants to not-for-profit community groups and projects that make a positive contribution to Otago communities.

The Trust provides donations across the diverse sectors of art & culture, heritage & environment, education, sport and recreation and community. These grants support important and innovative projects that provide improved standards of living, safety, health and welfare. Since its beginning, the Trust has distributed in excess of $158 million across the community.

The Otago Community Trust area is principally the provincial district of Otago, which includes Wanaka. West Otago, Queenstown and Arrowtown districts are outside our funding boundry.
