At Bright Foundation, our goal is simple:
Helping Kids Shine
To achieve this goal, we work directly with schools and other relevant agencies.
Our work is essentially directed towards primary school age children and their families. We work to identify and meet primary school children’s needs by working with schools and any other organization that may require our services.
We believe primary education is crucial to a child’s progress in the world. Quality primary education lays the foundations for a bright future.
Our organization size and structure gives us flexibility and speed. It allows us to do different things based on actual need.
We can also assist in urgent cases if and when required. We work with different organizations and agencies in a variety of ways.
As a charity, we have:
Sponsored students in need of stationery, uniforms, school lunches and special events like school camps and educational trips.
Provided emergency grants to families in need.
Since the Covid pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns, we found a huge need for emergency food parcels. As a result we have distributed over a thousand emergency food parcels to families across Auckland.
Our work is based on one single criterion – “need”.
Political, religious or similar affiliations or beliefs have no influence on our work.
Bright Foundation is funded via sponsorships, personal donations, collection drives and special fund-raising events.
There are two important principles underlining everything we do:
One hundred percent of every dollar we raise must go to charity. We are very mindful of utilizing donations wisely and carefully.
The second principle is that what we do is very targeted and focused and meets a real need. We do not source a product and then go to a school or organization saying this is what we have to offer. We actually work the other way round; we work with social workers, school principals and other relevant stakeholders to identify how we can help children and then go about fulfilling that need.
Since we began over three years ago, we have touched the lives of over 10000 children and their families.
Our Point of Difference
Rest assured, when you contribute to Bright Foundation, one hundred percent of your generous donation will be used for charitable purposes.
All members of the organisation work totally voluntarily and receive no remuneration or compensation.
