Our History
Philanthropy New Zealand was established in 1990 by the late Sir Roy McKenzie as a way of marking the 50th anniversary of the J R McKenzie Trust.
The move was supported by fellow Wellingtonians and philanthropists, Sir John Todd of the Todd Foundation and John and Graeme Sutherland of the Sutherland Self Help Trust.
The new organisation was called the New Zealand Association of Philanthropic Trusts. It changed its name to Philanthropy New Zealand in 2000.
