About Us

The Glenn Family Foundation is a family foundation begun more than thirty years ago by its founder, Owen G Glenn.

Since then the Foundation has given an estimated NZ$33 million to many worthwhile causes in many parts of the world including: India, Macau, China, the Philippines and Nepal in Asia; Africa, the UK, the USA and, within the Pacific, New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa and Australia.

More recently, the Foundation has focused its attention on two priority areas. The first involves large projects in education, health and sport in New Zealand; the second involves child protection and village development in the Kalimpong region of West Bengal State in India (the Model Villages Programme) which was established eight years ago.

The Glenn Family Foundation has recently established its international headquarters in Auckland, New Zealand.

The Glenn Family Foundation proactively seeds projects and aims to maximise impact in its areas of interest.

However, please note that we do not accept unsolicited requests for funding and consequently do not have an application process.
