ABOUT MIKRO FOUNDATION

We back everyday New Zealanders with the drive to achieve something meaningful.

Not everyone has access to the same opportunities - but talent, determination, and potential are everywhere.

Mikro Foundation exists to help bridge that gap. We provide funding to individuals, community initiatives, and early-stage ideas across New Zealand - supporting people who have already taken action and just need a helping hand to go further.
