Te Omanga Hospice Foundation
The Te Omanga Hospice Foundation is a registered charitable trust. It provides financial support to Te Omanga Hospice to help people live well with a terminal or life limiting illness. The hospice provides support and care for family and close friends during the patient’s illness, and in bereavement.
The Te Omanga Hospice Foundation was established in 2005 to help bridge a funding shortfall of nearly $3 million each year for Te Omanga Hospice.
The Foundation is a separate registered charitable trust whose primary purpose is to provide sustainability of the hospice. Income from bequests and supporter’s pledges is reserved to the Foundation’s endowment fund, which is used to help bridge the gap between government funding and the actual cost of providing services to patients and their families.
By supporting the Te Omanga Hospice Foundation, you will make a lasting contribution to support and safeguard the continuation of our services to the people of Hutt Valley, free of charge.
We invite individuals and businesses to become members of the Foundation. To find out more, please email our fundraising team on 04 979 6681 or email fundraising@teomanga.org.nz.
“It is a great privilege to be involved with the Te Omanga Hospice Foundation. Since our inception in 2005, we continue to grow and look to the future with optimism. Your support will help us to make the hospice sustainable, ensuring it can continue to provide the very highest level of care and support to the people of the Hutt Valley.” Keith Quinn MNZM, Patron of Te Omanga Hospice Foundation
