Community foundations are fast becoming a popular way for kiwis to help their fellow locals.
In the Horizons region - that includes Palmerston North, Manawatu and Whanganui - a new community foundation Te Awa is launching tomorrow.
The idea is to build a fund that will take care of the changing needs of the community. Inaugural chair of Te Awa, Clive Pedley, is here to tell us more about it.
