What our grant recipients say
Tauranga Hockey
“TECT’s support is integral to community sport in the Western Bay. Partnering with TECT to upgrade our facilities means that we can deliver uninterrupted hockey programmes and competition at all levels. The Whanga Turf renewal project has been a game changer, ensuring our infrastructure is at a level where we can simply focus on providing developing hockey in our community.” Read more.
AIMS Games Trust
"TECT Community Trust has been a long-standing and hugely important contributor to the Anchor AIMS Games. That support means we are able to reach more people around New Zealand and globally, while each year providing a professional, world-class event which creates long-lasting memories for our athletes." Read more.
Summerhill Base
"The new Summerhill Base represents more than a building; it’s part of the Trust’s long-term mission to ensure as many people as possible enjoy the land and have a space to gather. Creating this space will help to grow and support community events and connection. The build would not have been possible without the generous support of many and we are grateful to TECT for their contribution of over $308,000 to make this project become a reality."
BOP Rural Support Trust
"We’re very grateful to TECT for their amazing support of the Bay of Plenty Rural Support Trust. Their funding has helped us deliver vital wellbeing programmes and strengthen rural communities. TECT’s partnership means a lot to us and the farmers and families we support. Thank you for helping us make a real difference."
