Fundraising Institute of New Zealand

Welcome to the Fundraising Institute of New Zealand (FINZ), the professional body that represents fundraising in New Zealand. Located in the heart of Wellington on Manners Street, FINZ is dedicated to inspiring and empowering individuals across Aotearoa New Zealand to give generously and confidently to causes they care about.

At FINZ, we strive to create a culture of giving and generosity that leads to positive impact. Our goal is to strengthen confidence in giving by providing relevant and insightful content, delivered by industry experts who are passionate about their work. Whether you're a seasoned fundraiser or new to the field, our engaging presentations and beautiful, clear PowerPoint slides will keep you engaged and interested throughout.

One of the highlights of our institution is our Mentor Program. This program connects charities with experienced mentors like Gwen Green, who provide invaluable guidance and inspiration. The feedback we receive from charities who have participated in the program is overwhelmingly positive, and we are proud of the work our mentors do to support the charitable sector in New Zealand. If you're interested in joining our Mentor Program or recommending it to other charities, we encourage you to reach out to us.

In addition to our Mentor Program, we offer a range of educational resources to support your professional development. Our library of free or affordable webinars is available for download at your leisure, allowing you to brush up on skills and explore new topics at your own pace. And if you're unable to attend our events in person, our FINZ Education On Demand platform ensures that you never have to miss a learning opportunity. With FINZ, you have the flexibility to access training on your own terms and timing.

Looking ahead to 2023, we are excited to expand our lineup of Mentors. If you've had a mentor in your career who had a lasting impact and you're keen to pay it forward, we invite you to join our team of mentors. Already a member?
