Growing rural communities together
Since 2011, Cash for Communities has given back more than $1 million to charities, schools and community organisations across New Zealand. Thanks to the ongoing support of farmers, growers and contractors, the programme has helped strengthen rural communities for more than 15 years, supporting the people and places that make them thrive.
