Simply Foundation: Empowering Our Community Together
Launched in July 2024, the Simply Foundation was created to assist New Zealand communities.
At Simply Hospitality, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back to the society that supports us. This belief has led to the creation of the Simply Foundation, a dedicated initiative launched in July 2024, with the sole purpose of fostering growth, resilience, and well-being within New Zealand communities.
Our Commitment
From the very beginning, Simply Hospitality has pledged 1%* of our sales to the Simply Foundation. This commitment is just the starting point as we build a substantial fund to support your initiatives. Furthermore, we are extending an invitation to our suppliers to join us in this mission, offering them the opportunity to contribute and amplify the impact of the Foundation’s efforts.
Our vision extends beyond financial contributions. We aim to create a network of collaboration with other businesses and community groups, enhancing our collective ability to drive real change. By working together, we can leverage our resources and expertise to maximise our positive impact on the community.
The Simply³: Our Focus Areas
The Simply Foundation is dedicated to supporting initiatives in three key areas, collectively known as the Simply³:
- Sustainable Initiatives: We support projects that promote environmental sustainability, conservation, and responsible resource use. Our goal is to contribute to a greener, more sustainable future for all.
- Societal Projects: These are initiatives aimed at addressing social issues, improving community well-being, and fostering inclusivity. We believe in creating a society where everyone feels valued and supported.
- Start-Ups: We recognize the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship in driving economic growth. By supporting emerging businesses and innovative ideas, we aim to contribute to the economic vitality and diversity of our community.
Why Now?
In times of economic difficulty, community groups and businesses often face increased challenges and reduced access to essential funding. This is precisely when support is most needed. The Simply Foundation was established to bridge this gap, ensuring that vital community services and innovative projects receive the support they need to continue and thrive. Our commitment is driven by a belief that we have a responsibility to help foster the growth of our industry and the communities we operate within.
How Does It Work?
The process is simple and inclusive. If your community group or business aligns with one (or more) of the Simply³ areas, we encourage you to reach out to us. In your message, please provide details about your project, your goals, and your plans for achieving them. Let us know where you believe the Simply Foundation can assist and how we can work together to realize your vision.
In conclusion, by fostering collaboration and providing crucial support, the Simply Foundation aims to build a stronger, more resilient community. We invite you to join us in our mission to support and empower New Zealand communities. Together, we can make a lasting difference.
