2025 Impact Event

An inspiring evening with complimentary bubbles, delicious nibbles, dessert, a cash bar, and great conversation.

• A Q&A panel of inspiring local women sharing stories of resilience, leadership, and community impact.

• Opportunities to connect with others who care about making a difference for South Canterbury.

• The highlight of the evening: seeing the amount we fundraise, gifted back as grants, into our community on the night

This year, the Aoraki Foundation Women’s Fund Impact Event has a new format! In the past, we’ve sold 100 tickets at $100 each. Thanks to your generosity, we’ve been able to support initiatives that uplift and empower women and girls across our community.

We know that everyone’s circumstances are different, and sometimes it’s simply not possible to contribute $100 or attend the event. We’re excited to be able to change things up and still achieve our goal of raising $10,000 to go right back out to our community.
