Sponsorship and support

Our businesses are proud to sponsor a range of community, industry and charitable organisations. That sponsorship is diverse, ranging from environmental initiatives to educational institutions and industry events.

One initiative which we, as a group, are very proud to support is First Foundation. We are the principal sponsor of First Foundation - a unique educational trust founded to give teenagers with plenty of talent, but few financial resources, a pathway through university study. Fletcher Building assists them through university while also providing work experience and mentoring opportunities across our businesses. First Foundation has already supported 300 young New Zealanders through tertiary funding assistance and connecting them with work experience and mentoring opportunities.

However, due to our decentralised nature, sponsorship initiatives are predominantly supported and managed by our individual business units. Therefore sponsorship applications are best directed to the specific Fletcher Building business you see appropriate. A list of our businesses can be found here.

In addition to the support from our business units, the Fletcher Trust also contributes to programmes related to education and youth development.
