Expressions of interest are now open for a Trustee to join us on the SkyCity Queenstown Community Trust.
Since they were established, SkyCity's three Community Trusts have proudly distributed over NZ$81.7 million in more than 5,400 grants, large and small, in Auckland, Hamilton and Queenstown.
The vision for SkyCity Queenstown Community Trust is "Thriving communities - engaging, participating and connected". Trust grants will support services and programmes that focus on the wellbeing and resilience of the communities and Rangatahi of Queenstown and Central-Lakes areas.
The Board is responsible for the distribution of SkyCity's Community Trusts' resources, setting strategy, and monitoring and evaluating grant making impact. The Board meets up to three times a year for half days.
In selecting Trustees, we will consider the following priorities:
o Geography - residing in Queenstown Lakes/Wanaka
o Mana-whenua/iwi - involvement in and understanding of Te Ao Māori perspectives and the wider Māori community;
o Philanthropic/not-for-profit/charitable trust governance experience;
o Social sector experience;
o Ethnic diversity - working within marginalised ethnic communities;
o Youth - ensuring that there is representation with a youth perspective
This is a great opportunity to help us deliver to the Trusts' priorities and further align SkyCity's community strategy.
More information on the Queenstown Strategy and funding can be found on the Trust website: https://skycityqueenstown.co.nz/about-us/
