About Us

Mā Matou

Creating better outcomes for present and future generations in Taranaki.

The Foundation supports in traditional, philanthropic ways, while also looking to the future with a focus on strategic and innovative granting and impact investing to achieve even greater long-term, intergenerational and transformational benefits for our communities.

TOI has two meanings – ‘origin and source’, and ‘tip or summit’; both reflect our organisation’s commitment to contribute to the success and wellbeing of Taranaki and its people.

Our Song
Tō Tātou Waiata

Taranaki Maunga,
Taranaki Tāngata

Taranaki maunga, Taranaki tāngata ē tū kau i te uru,
Ākina a-hau, ākina a-tai kia manawanui
He toi whenua, he toi tāngata, ko te whakakorikori ē
Te kaupapa o te waka nei, ko te oranganui ē
Tuia mai ko te tāngata, ki ngā kaupapa nui ē,
ko te oranga mō te hapori, ki te ata tauira
He toi whenua, he toi tāngata ko te whakakorikori ē
He toi whenua, he toi tāngata ko te whakakorikori ē
