The Lion Foundation is one of New Zealand's oldest and most respected Charitable Trusts. In the past 25 years, we've returned over $540 million back to the community, supporting thousands of good causes right around New Zealand.The Lion Foundation internal philosophy is 'make a difference' and we do. We have many Lion Foundation venues and gaming machines across the country and we consistently return millions of dollars into the community. Last year that equated to over $53 million.Last year, we approved 3,306 grants for community-based organisations across New Zealand. That's 9 good causes a day. Causes as diverse as the people who live in those communities: from Cape Reinga to Bluff, east coast to west, rural to urban. In fact, there are few Kiwis whose lives haven't been touched by a Lion Foundation grant.
