The Gift Trust is looking for 2-3 new trustees to join the board of our innovative and values-driven philanthropic trust. We work with more than 70 generous donors – individuals, families and companies – to plan and distribute their charitable funding on their behalf. We additionally run Gift Collective, a charitable fundholding service which helps grassroots groups raise, manage, and spend charitable funds transparently.
We are on a journey as an organisation to become a better Te Tiriti partner, and as such some of our criteria for new board members reflect our desire to do better in this space. We can offer you a supportive, friendly, constructive, welcoming and structured governance environment where you will be supported to bring your best to a governance role. We will offer new trustees a welcoming experience that emphasises whakawhanaungatanga, reciprocal relationships and a full understanding of our organisation, your background and we can work best together.
The role is voluntary, comprising 3-4 hours per month and 4-5 meetings per year, plus additional ad-hoc meetings and support for our team and our mission when needed. For a full job description, including a list of the skills and qualities we’re looking for, click here.
We’re looking for expressions of interest at this stage. If you’re interested, email your CV to Cheryl Spain, our Executive Director, by 5pm on Monday 25 March 2024: cheryl@thegifttrust.org.nz.
