Make It Happen Charitable Trust commenced in 2013.

The trustees identified a need for children whose families’ financial circumstances do not allow them to pursue, participate or seek out an activity that would improve their overall well being.

The Trust’s purpose is to make grants to children and their families in the Christchurch area.  The grants are to meet or go towards the costs of sport, school activities, the arts, music, community or cultural activities, education (excluding learning assessments) and possible medical costs for children whose families’ financial means may inhibit them from otherwise doing so.

To date the Trust has approved grants totalling over $235,000.  Our focus and the most important question we ask ourselves is … will our support make a difference?
