IDEAL FOUNDATION CONTINUE TO PARTNER WITH SUSTAINABLE COASTLINES It’s a pleasure to announce Ideal Foundation has been able to extend our partnership with Sustainable Coastlines through to 2024! We’ve been blown away by the differences their initiatives make to our environment, so it was a no brain-er to continue our support.

Recently, Ideal Foundation were able to host a thank you breakfast at the Sustainable Coastlines flagship to discuss the ambitions Ideal Foundation have for even greater contributions going forward. We’ll give you more info on these initiatives in 2024.

We thank you and our key suppliers for the support we’ve been able to contribute to date!

Big thanks to Bizline, Thorn, Simx, Milwaukee, Marley, Philips, CDY, Legrand, who’ve supported us, mucked in and been very involved in giving back to our communities.

IDEAL FOUNDATION CONTINUES TO SUPPORT MIKE KING’S ‘I AM HOPE’ FOUNDATION Supporting Mike and the ‘I Am Hope’ Foundation has always been close to the heart and meaningful to us. We support ‘I Am Hope’ goals around normalising mental health conversations to achieve positive societal attitudinal change within ourselves, our families and our communities.

Thanks to you and our key suppliers, we were able to contribute $25k this year. Everyone that has purchased a Foundation product has enabled us to continue to contribute in this way and Mike’s team have been very grateful.

Mike’s been able to share the ’I Am Hope’ message at various Ideal branch events and related occasions. It’s making an impact on everyone which stirs up a healthy challenge for all to take on and apply everyday.

IDEAL FOUNDATION HAS CONTRIBUTED $80,000 TO DATE TO MIKE KING’S ‘I AM HOPE’ FOUNDATION

IDEAL STAFF VOICE Every year Ideal Foundation give Ideal Electrical staff an opportunity to suggest organisations they’d like to see us contribute towards. This year the following organisations were selected and Ideal Foundation were able to donate $2k to each.

CAMP QUALITY NZ Camp Quality Campers are children, 5 to 16 years of age, who have been diagnosed with cancer. Our programmes provide a stress-free and caring environment for the children where fun and friendship are combined with achievable challenges - allowing the children to “just be kids”. They get a sense of normality and independence and focus on the positive aspects of their lives. Each year Camp Quality programmes cater for around 300 children at various locations around the country.

CHILD RESCUE NZ Child Rescue’s mission is to rescue kids from sexual exploitation and human trafficking and to help them stay free.

We do this through funding rescue operations and reintegration programs. We activate resources in countries where the need to save is great. Because of our committed supporters, our rescue and reintegration staff are bringing freedom, hope and healing to children around the clock – day and night!

HUHA NZ HUHA is at the forefront of improving animal welfare and outcomes in New Zealand.

Our teams help rescue animals from dangerous or harmful situations. We rehabilitate animals and match them with loving, forever homes. For animals that can’t be rehomed, we provide a sanctuary where they can peacefully live out their lives.

We teach empathy and educate communities so that together we can improve the care and quality of life for all animals.

DIABETES NZ Diabetes New Zealand is a Charitable Trust that represents and supports people with diabetes. We’ve been around for over 50 years and have a National Office in Wellington, across the country with staff and volunteers who help people live well with diabetes.
