FOSTERING AND ENCOURAGING THE JOURNEY OF OUR YOUNG KIWI ROWERS

At the New Zealand Rowing Foundation our purpose as a registered charity is to promote, foster and encourage the sport of rowing in New Zealand for the recreation and entertainment of the general public and to obtain, hold and administer funds on trust for that purpose.

We are extremely grateful to you for your generous support which allows us to assist the next generation of junior and under-23 New Zealand rowers as well as the highly prestigious Legacy programme, honouring our elite New Zealand representative rowers.

Because the New Zealand Rowing Foundation is a registered charity, upon making a donation you may be entitled to a tax credit or a tax deduction.
