Corporate Giving
The business of doing good
More and more businesses are taking an interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and choosing to give back to the communities in which they work.
Research consistently shows that CSR not only enhances brand reputation but also demonstrates corporate values, which is increasingly important to employees as the younger generations select their preferred employer.
There are currently 14 organisations in the Western Bay of Plenty - large and small - who give via the Acorn Foundation. Setting up a Corporate Fund through Acorn is an easy way to make a difference in the region we all love. You can also set up Workplace Giving, where employees donate a portion of their paycheck each month and regularly choose where to donate the pooled funds.

“There is a highly developed sense of community in this region, and Acorn is a vehicle by which members of the community can contribute.”
– Glenn Keaney, Partner, KPMG Tauranga

“Giving back through Acorn is our way of saying thank you to the Bay of Plenty for all the support this city has shown our business across the last 30 years. Continuing support for the Bay of Plenty community is our responsibility and our future.”
– Mike Farmer, Group Managing Director, Farmer Autovillage

“I have long admired the work of Acorn, and have loosely kept informed of their work in the community. It is exciting to now become involved, putting our money in their direction instead of just our admiration.”
- Leanne Rhodes-Robinson, Number Works'n'Words Tauranga
