Keen to help create impact?

At Inspiring Stories, we work with a range of organisations that help to provide funding, knowledge, skills and resources to make a difference for young New Zealanders. Our supporters range from community foundations and private sector businesses, to government agencies and tertiary education institutions. Every organisation is different. Sometimes the drivers can be purely philanthropic and focused on supporting social impact, or sometimes you might also be looking to unlock specific benefits and achieve your business goals. If you share our vision and values, and want to make a difference for young New Zealanders – we’d love to hear from you!

 
 

How could you help?

Some people tell us our websites look fancy and that we don’t look like we need any support. The reality is far from true – we achieve incredible results on outrageously lean budgets, and the truth is we’re always struggling for funding. Here’s a few easy ways you could help:

– purchase tickets to Festival for the Future, or a table at The Impact Awards
–  help out with venues, AV or catering support for our events and workshops
– share your knowledge and expertise as keynote speakers, facilitators or mentors
– supporting scholarship efforts by helping with funding, transport or accommodation
– marketing and promotional support

 
 
 

“This was my first Festival and I couldn’t have been more impressed, impacted, inspired and called to action.”

Claire Fairhead, Westpac NZ Government Innovation Fund

 
 

What’s in it for you?

Because we’re a charity, impact sits at the heart of everything we do. We’ve built an impressive track record of programmes and partnerships over the past decade. Our tribe of 13,000 alumni and supporters includes some of the most influential New Zealanders, and we’ve provided life-changing opportunities and experiences for thousands of young people in literally every region.

We understand return on investment. Whether you’re looking to increase brand awareness, demonstrate thought leadership, attract new customers or talent, strengthen your team and culture, invest in your staff, or simply give back – we’d love to chat. Our unique portfolio of our major events and programmes gives the ability to tailor opportunities for authentic activation and engagement to create win-win outcomes.
