ABOUT THE LION FOUNDATION
We're here for good
The Lion Foundation is one of New Zealands oldest and most respected Charitable Trusts. In the past 23 years, we've returned over $480 million back to the community, supporting thousands of good causes right around New Zealand.
Our internal philosophy is 'make a difference' and we do. We have 157 venues and 2,288 machines across the country and we consistently return over 40% of revenue back into the community. That equates to around $40 to $50 million every year.
Last year, we approved 4,175 grants for community-based organisations across New Zealand. That's 11 good causes a day. Causes as diverse as the people who live in those communities: from Cape Reinga to Bluff, east coast to west, rural to urban. In fact, there are few Kiwis whose lives haven't been touched by a Lion Foundation grant.
Big or small, what these causes all have in common is that they each make a real and lasting difference to the communities involved.
