The Boys Brigade Waikato Charitable Trust Fund is a great example of a community group having an endowment with Momentum Waikato to fund scholarships or grants that develop individuals' knowledge, abilities and capacity.

This year the Boys Brigade Waikato Trust applied the income from its Fund to providing grants that enabled three young men, Joel Chernishov, Jake Guyan and Dylan Young, to attend Stage 1 of Boys Brigade's National Leadership Development Course at Nelson Lakes in July.

Joel reported back that he "liked the way the course forces you to learn through practical challenges".

Jake (in yellow jacket in group shot below) said "All of the teaching sessions where insightful and eye opening in what they made me see in myself as a leader and the way I lead and work within a group".

Dylan said "I had such a great time and learned so many things and really went outside my comfort zone and had a blast. My favourite part was definitely the views. This was my first time in Nelson and I would never imagine how beautiful it truly was, so spending a couple nights with the beautiful sunsets and sunrises was incredible."

To learn more and donate to the Boys Brigade Waikato Charitable Trust Fund visit momentumwaikato.nz....

If your community trust or group is considering setting up an endowment fund to generate investment income for grants to individuals or projects, get in touch with us here at Momentum Waikato.
