Charities: Information Hub

Kia ora,

Charities are in many ways the backbone of New Zealand, delivering services, providing resources and support that strengthens our communities. We enjoy supporting the great work that charities do, whether that be assisting with setting up a new charity, updating existing charities, supporting with commercial or employment matters of charities and much more. In this information hub we have compiled our guides and articles to keep the charities sector well-resourced and up to date on the latest developments.

We welcome your questions and there is an FAQ with dozens of questions and answers below.

Examining the foundations of how and why we empower charities to have positive impact.

Charities and Tax

Monday 24th February 2025

In this free webinar Craig Fisher and Steven Moe will be discussing their recent paper “Charites & Tax” which is now available.

What are the policy reasons for or against taxing charities – what do they contribute – how do we measure that – what might business income that is taxed mean for them? Those and many other questions will be what we discuss in this session.

Launch of our Fundholding Paper

Tuesday 4th March 2025

Join this interactive launch of the new Briefing Paper on Fundholding. Prepared with consultation and input from many across the charity sector the paper discusses the situation where a charity holds funds on behalf of a new initiative (which is not a charity). The outcomes of attending will include:

  • An understanding on what is fundholding and when it is used
  • What are the key considerations and barriers to using this
  • Talking through a template fundholding agreement and the key provisions in it

Led by Steven Moe (Partner) and Dinuki Karunasekera (Solicitor) from Parry Field Lawyers, this will be a chance to ask questions and discuss in detail.
