Established in 2017, the charitable purpose of SONZF (Special Olympics New Zealand Foundation) is to fundraise and financially support Special Olympics New Zealand so that it can provide services to children and adults with intellectual disabilities in Aotearoa New Zealand.  All gifts and donations to the Foundation become part of a permanent endowment, which will continue to grow over time, thereby maximising the distribution available to Special Olympics New Zealand forever.

Our role is to  

• ensure the long term financial stability of Special Olympics in New Zealand for many years to come, by building up a portfolio of funds invested to generate the best possible return. 

• Use those returns to provide funding for special programmes and initiatives for the intellectually disabled community run by the Special Olympics.
