‘We planted 3000 trees’<br />
•From page 5<br />
An education fund has also<br />
been set up, a long-term legacy<br />
which will support 108 children<br />
with tertiary education and training.<br />
Al Noor Mosque Imam Gamal<br />
Fouda said the foundation had<br />
played a “crucial” role in helping<br />
the Muslim community recover<br />
from last year’s attacks.<br />
Former city councillor Raf<br />
Manji played a leading role in<br />
the foundation’s response to<br />
the attacks, spearheading its<br />
engagement with the Muslim<br />
community over a three month<br />
period which shaped its distribution<br />
model.<br />
More recently, the foundation<br />
has worked alongside Meridian<br />
energy in moving towards creating<br />
a tui corridor throughout<br />
Christchurch.<br />
A corridor of tui tucker plants,<br />
a tui favourite, will be planted<br />
across Christchurch to encourage<br />
the bird back into the city.<br />
Carter said Meridian Energy<br />
came to the foundation wanting<br />
to contribute to the environmental<br />
aspect of the city, so she came<br />
up with the idea of a tui corridor.<br />
“That was my idea, I pitched it<br />
to<br />
them [Meridian], they went yeah,<br />
we would love to do it so we<br />
planted 3000 trees on city council<br />

GRAND<br />
TREE-MENDOUS: In collaboration with the Christchurch<br />
Foundation and Sustainable Coastlines, Meridian Energy<br />
hosted its first planting day last week at the Christchurch<br />
Adventure Park as it looks to create a Tui corridor through<br />
the city.<br />
land on Friday [last week].”<br />
This is an example of the<br />
foundation’s “project funding”<br />
approach.<br />
The second approach it employs<br />
in facilitating acts of philanthropy<br />
in the city is a strategy Carter<br />
labelled as “pass-through giving.”<br />
“Like the gift to Turanga, we<br />
bring the money in and pass it<br />
straight on to the beneficiary of<br />
the donor’s choice. We have also<br />
done that for other things in the<br />
city like SCAPE [public art] and<br />
the Christchurch Symphony<br />
Orchestra.”<br />
The third approach is endowment<br />
funding. This involves<br />
donors giving capital to the<br />
charity which it then invests and<br />
distributes the profits of to the<br />
donor’s cause of choice.<br />
This multi-faceted approach<br />
from the charity has caught the<br />
eye of Susan Dolton, who will be<br />
studying the charity as part of<br />
a Winston Churchill Memorial<br />
Trust Fellowship grant into the<br />
research of strategies in disaster<br />
grant-making.<br />

He said it took more than a<br />
dozen members and a week to<br />
unload and display the items<br />
which were donations from the<br />
club members and the general<br />
public.<br />
The proceeds of the sale would<br />
to Sunday if the weather is not<br />
suitable.<br />
There will be several<br />
giveaways, prizes, and lolly<br />
scrambles.<br />
VALUE: Some of the items at the Lions club fundraiser.<br />
Items donated from public<br />
go to Christchurch Diabetes,<br />
one of the causes supported by<br />
the Lions Club International<br />
Foundation.<br />
“The unsold items would<br />
most probably be used for next<br />
year’s sale, hopefully,” Godden<br />
said.<br />
