The Graeme Dingle Foundation delivers proven Positive Youth Development programmes in schools and communities across Aotearoa, helping Kiwi kids build the confidence, resilience and life skills they need to thrive.

TeKohangaReoTrust_logo

Te Kōhanga Reo is a Māori language immersion movement dedicated to nurturing tamariki and strengthening whānau through the revitalisation of te reo Māori. Established in 1982, Te Kōhanga Reo provides a culturally rich early learning environment where children are embraced in Māori values, traditions and language from an early age. With whānau at the heart of the kaupapa, Te Kōhanga Reo empowers communities to preserve and celebrate Māori identity, ensuring te reo Māori continues to thrive for future generations. Today, it remains a vital force in Māori education and one of Aotearoa’s most significant language and cultural success stories.

 

Logo- NZ- Garden to table

Garden to Table is a nationwide charitable programme that teaches tamariki how to grow, harvest, cook and share fresh food. The real-world learning experience is curriculum-linked and helps teachers integrate the programme across subjects like maths, science and literacy. Through practical garden and kitchen experiences, children develop valuable life skills, learn about sustainability and build a lifelong connection to healthy food. These positive impacts extend beyond the school gates to whānau and the wider community. Garden to Table's dream is for all tamariki across Aotearoa to have the opportunity and resources to grow and share their own fresh kai as part of daily life.

 

Garden Transformation

Our team arrived at Forrest Hill Primary School with a mission (and a truckload of bark) ready to dig in and make a difference. Bark was spread, weeds were pulled, a forgotten pond space was transformed and the large Koru Garden, was filled with soil, ready for planting. Students joined in helping to assemble the new Buddy Bench. By the end of the day, the school grounds looked refreshed and community connections were reinforced.

Raised gardens, raised spirits

Our Hamilton team had the privilege of building a wheelchair-accessible raised garden bed for the residents of Resthaven Community Trust. Along with the garden bed, the team donated a variety of vegetables, herbs, and fruit trees to create a vibrant, productive space. Designed to be inclusive, the garden encourages residents — including those living with dementia or limited mobility

For more than 25 years, the Bunnings sausage sizzle has provided grassroots community groups a simple way to raise funds to continue their important work in our communities.

Not-for-profit organisations can book a sizzle with their local store - they need to bring volunteers and some supplies and Bunnings helps with the rest.

100% of funds raised go to your community group.

Organising a Bunnings sausage sizzle is easy – BYO volunteers and necessary products and we’ll help look after the rest. Simply fill out our online form to submit your enquiry to your local ‘Activities Organiser’ Bunnings Team Member. Conditions apply.

How do I apply for a sausage sizzle?

Simply fill out our online form to submit your enquiry to your community group’s local store’s ‘Activities Organiser’.

The local ‘Activities Organiser’ will then be in contact to discuss your application and next steps. This will include detail of what the funds will be used for (e.g. upgrading facilities, purchasing equipment) and any other required documentation.

Who can apply?

Bunnings receives many requests for support, and in order to consider these worthwhile requests fairly and objectively we have developed a broad framework covering our community involvement activities. 

In line with this framework, our priority is to work directly with not-for- profit community groups and charities. This allows our stores to fully participate in the communities in which they operate by providing meaningful assistance to their local community.

We strive to work with organisations that share the Bunnings values and reserve the right to decline activities with organisations that don’t align.

Bunnings proudly supports local community groups by providing hands-on assistance with their projects. Wherever possible, our store teams take the opportunity to get out into the community and help with grassroots projects including garden makeovers and providing D.I.Y. support. We also provide product and gift card donations for community activities including raffles and fundraising events.

Requests for hands-on support should be made in writing on the community or charitable organisation’s original letterhead and sent to your nearest Bunnings store, to the attention of the Activities Organiser Bunnings Team Member.

The Bunnings Community Grants program provides targeted funding to support practical, local projects that deliver real impact. Designed to complement our store-led support, it helps strengthen communities across Australia and New Zealand. Find out more here.
