ProCARE

ProCare Charitable Foundation

The ProCare Foundation exists to support the health and well-being of disadvantaged communities by delivering health-related activities that improve a community's well-being, or reduce health inequalities and alleviate poverty and deprivation in the Auckland region.

Funding

Each year the Trustee and foundation’s Board will determine the level of grant funding and the format of the grant round. Eligibility for grants is based on the purposes of the Foundation, merits and benefits the applications bring to improving health and wellbeing objectives.

 

Grant Strategy for 2025

The ProCare Foundation is embarking on a refreshed strategic approach to charitable granting over the next three years. From 2025 onward, all funding opportunities will be offered through a personal invitation-only process.

This intentional shift enables us to foster deeper partnerships with organisations whose work closely aligns with our values and demonstrates measurable, lasting impact across greater Auckland. Invited charities will be asked to provide a detailed overview of their work, including community benefits, operational insights, and funding requirements for upcoming initiatives.

Through this targeted strategy, we aim to support projects that deliver meaningful outcomes and contribute to the long-term wellbeing of our communities.

 

Availability of Grants

ProCare Charitable Foundation grants are only available to registered charities working solely on projects or initiatives in the Auckland region (from the northern limit of the Bombay Hills to the southern limit of the township of Warkworth), seeking funds for:

  • Promoting or delivering health-related activities
  • Improving population health outcomes
  • Improving through education or other services, the well-being of communities of greater Auckland (as defined by the Deed of Trust)
  • Reducing health inequalities or innovations that fall within the purposes of the Foundation.

Priority will be given to applications that can demonstrate partnership and collaboration that can match/fund the contribution expected from the ProCare Charitable Foundation.

Applications involving ProCare Health Limited or its shareholders/members must declare their interest and demonstrate how they will not directly benefit so as to ensure the ProCare Charitable Foundation fulfils its obligations under the charities legislation.

 

Administration

The Foundation has appointed the Public Trust as its independent Trustee and Administrator. The Public Trust will receive and process grant applications on the Foundation’s behalf. Find out more about Public Trust.

The Foundation’s Board are independent members and are not shareholders/members of ProCare Network Limited. The Foundation’s income, benefit or advantage must only be used to advance the charitable purposes of the Foundation. Therefore, ProCare Network Limited and its shareholders/members are not able to directly benefit from any activity funded by the ProCare Charitable Foundation.

Any questions should be directed to the Public Trust as the Trustee. Please email Rebecca Key at rebecca.mihu@publictrust.co.nz or on 09 985 5355
