Our Funders
As a not-for-profit led by passionate volunteers and a small part-time staff team, FMC relies on the loyal support of our funders to keep protecting Aotearoa’s wild places.
A significant portion of our funding comes from our members—both clubs and individual supporters—as well as from the Maerewhenua Trust and the FMC Mountain and Forest Trust. We’re deeply grateful for their continued support and belief in our work – their generosity enables us to focus on what matters most.

Clubs and supporters
Our member clubs and individual supporters make our work possible through their annual fees and contributions. Their ongoing commitment helps sustain FMC’s core activities and advocacy.

FMC Mountain and Forest Trust
The Trust supports our ongoing advocacy, the Youth Scholarship Scheme, and a range of educational, outreach, and conservation projects. Their backing plays a vital role in strengthening our impact.

Maerewhenua Trust
The Maerewhenua Trust has provided regular and substantial contributions to FMC over many years. Their support allows us to expand our advocacy efforts and play a greater role within the outdoor community.
