Celebrating 20 years of giving

This year, the Acorn Foundation celebrates 20 years of connecting generous people who care with causes that matter in our region.

Since 2003, thanks to the incredible generosity of Acorn donors, the foundation has gifted over $13 million to support more than 290 charitable organisations in the Western Bay of Plenty and other areas important to our donors.

With more than 425 endowment funds and over 600 total donors, Acorn is well-positioned to support our region long into the future.
