The Fifeshire Foundation is a charitable organisation operating in the Nelson/Tasman region of New Zealand.[1][2]

The Foundation was established and registered in 1993.[1] During its first year, it distributed $6,600 in grants.[3] The organisation offers assistance to people in need, covering expenses such as dental work, medical expenses, swimming lessons, clothing, school camps and drivers’ licence costs. There is a scheme specifically to assist with heating costs in winter, and at Christmas there is a collection and distribution of toys and food.[1][3][4]

The organisation is supported by grants from Whakatū Rotary Club, Network Tasman and New Zealand King Salmon.[3] Local businesses also provide professional services free of charge, such as printing, web design, legal advice and media relations.[5]
