Let’s level the playing field.

Socio-economic status shouldn’t stop young people from achieving their dreams. But many bright students simply don’t have the financial resources and professional networks most people rely on to get started in their careers.While financial assistance is crucial for students from lower-income households, so is having role models who have been to university, and access to work opportunities in the professional world. 

With your help, First Foundation provides targeted support in all three of these areas, to give talented Kiwis from challenging backgrounds the opportunities many of us take for granted.
