The Whakatāne Kiwi Trust is a leader in community driven conservation.

By partnering with us, you can make a meaningful contribution to protecting kiwi while demonstrating a genuine commitment to environmental sustainability. Whether you’re an individual supporter or a business, your sponsorship creates real impact — with a very real feel-good factor.

There are five packages available for corporate sponsorship; however, we’re also happy to tailor a personalised package to align with your goals, values, and level of support.

The Whakatāne Kiwi Trust is a charitable trust, established in 2006. The Trust oversees management of kiwi in the project area, helps coordinate pest control, and promotes kiwi conservation  through advocacy and education.
