The New Zealand Football Foundation (NZFF) seek applications for a new trustee for their board.
NZFF are an independent charitable foundation established in 2010 with a capital fund received [through New Zealand Football] from FIFA as a result of the All Whites qualification for the 2010 World Cup.
Their goals include distributing funds to projects to support the growth and development of football in New Zealand and raising and investing funds to grow the capital base.
The current funding criteria include a focus on women and girls and communities who have limited access to social and economic resources and opportunities compared to the general population.
They have a strong capital fund of about $6 million, overseen by seven trustees and a chief executive (based in Auckland), who collectively provide a range of professional experience.
The foundation is looking for a new trustee to join its board of trustees.
