ABOUT GIVING2KIDS
Giving2Kids is a joint partnership between Philanthropy New Zealand and the Office of the Children's Commissioner.
The idea for Giving2Kids came about after a number of businesses and organisations asked us how they could play their part in reducing child poverty.
So we put together information on why, how, and where to invest in our children, and includes 50 plus evidence-based ideas to consider.
