How can we help

It is our privilege to provide a range of offerings for the benefit of the Wilberforce Community. These include:

Events and Webinars

We regularly host topical and useful events and webinars which Wilberforce Community members are welcome to join.

Communication

We provide regular updates with news and opportunities from across Christian charities in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Scholarships

Each year, the Wilberforce Foundation provides scholarship support to leaders. Individuals may be established leaders in Christian charities, or emerging leaders who have a desire to contribute more of themselves in leadership.

Communities of Practice

The Wilberforce Community connects groups of like-minded people working in similar areas to form supportive Communities of Practice, which provide opportunities for growth, collaboration and connection.

Consultancy

The Wilberforce Foundation has connections with a range of consultants who are able to support organisations with particular needs, and we can contribute to partial funding of their work.

Governance Support

We are aware that for many Christian organisations, good governance is a goal and a challenge. We provide mentoring, trouble-shooting, and governance development opportunities.

Leadership Development and Mentoring

Leadership requires us to bring our best selves, and all leaders require support in this. We provide leadership development opportunities, formation, and mentoring programmes to support Christian leaders to lead well.

Additionally, where we observe that a leader or organisation requires targeted support for a period of time, we can also offer:

• Support for start-up initiatives and emerging organisations and entrepreneurs. This can include coaching and programmes to get established and viable, mentoring and input to support your organisation’s development in the bi-cultural context of Aotearoa New Zealand, access to consultancy support, and strategic funding for specific projects.

• Help for organisations wishing to pivot more towards a focus on proclamation of the Gospel and discipleship.
