Nikau Foundation is an ideal alternative to setting up your own private charitable trust and removes all of the hassles with trustee succession, charities commission requirements, accounting and audit, etc. Existing Charitable Trusts can easily been wound up and the assets transferred to Nikau Foundation.

Recent Projects - Operation Heartbeat


Heartbeat4_1.jpg


Each week, three Wellingtonians fall victim to sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) at home, at work or on the street. The condition occurs when electrical impulses in the heart become rapid or chaotic, which causes the heart to suddenly stop beating.

 Wellington’s current survival rate for SCA is comparable with other major cities, but the Nikau Foundation and Wellington Free Ambulance want to greatly improve residents’ capabilities - to help us match leading international cities such as Seattle, Copenhagen & Oslo, and double the survival rate of witnessed SCA in Wellington.
