More than $50,000 has been donated to New Zealand hospice services around the country in the first round of the Harcourts Foundation funded, Hospice NZ Grants Programme.
The Harcourts Foundation established the unique programme alongside Hospice NZ in July this year. The primary goal of the Grants Programme is to assist member hospices with funding for key projects that directly benefit the people using hospice services in the local community.
The Harcourts Foundation, the charitable arm of Harcourts, has reached the milestone of $5 million raised since its launch in 2008. That translates to 686 charities supported, 311 communities impacted and 851 grants made through Harcourts offices in New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa.
