Purpose & Structure


Charitable Purpose

Third Culture Foundation is a New Zealand-based charitable organisation working to reduce barriers to participation, increase social connection, and strengthen belonging across diverse communities. We design and deliver youth programmes, community initiatives and cultural experiences that help people build confidence, skills, relationships, pathways and opportunities. We have a strong focus on engaging Māori, Pasifika and multicultural young people, particularly those who may be underserved or excluded by more conventional opportunities. Our work creates culturally inclusive spaces where people can share identity, stories and heritage, build relationships across cultural groups, and participate meaningfully in the shared civic and cultural life of Aotearoa New Zealand. Through participation, connection and practical opportunity, we aim to strengthen individual and collective capability, support greater self-determination, and contribute to more connected and resilient communities.
