Child Health Advancement Research Trust Fund
On 16 November 2020, the Northland District
Health Board (DHB) Child Health Services Team
and Northland Community Foundation (NCF) held
an afternoon tea and presentation to celebrate and
energise the CHART (Child Health Advancement
Research Trust) Fund.
The CHART Fund was established in 2007, by
Northland DHB clinicians, Dr Roger Tuck and Rod
Gates, and Northland Community Foundation
(NCF) under Health Fund PLUS. The Fund’s
objectives are to advance and research the health
needs of children and young people in Northland.
It was also established to find seed funding for
longer-term endowment and attract donations as
a source of ongoing funding.
Acquisition of the assets and funding for previous
projects came from voluntary efforts by the group
led by Dr Tuck as Chair of the Committee.

Grassroots Fund
Debbie Evans Chairperson for the Northland - Grassroots Fund - Allocation
Committee appreciates the ongoing support of the Tindall Foundation:
“We gratefully receive funds from the Tindall Foundation which we locally combine with
donations received to create the Northland Grassroots Fund, managed by the Northland
Community Foundation. The Tindall Foundation set us very clear guidelines of how their
funds can be distributed. It’s a challenging role for our committee of six volunteers who come
together annually from across Tai Tokerau to consider applications. Last year we received 40
applications from Northland charities totaling $451,510, due diligence and robust discussion
by the committee and staff is how we managed to allocate the $88,540 funds available. As
volunteers this process is very rewarding, to be in a position to assist organisations who are
making such a difference for our rural communities.”
