Natasha Harvey - Why We Give

"I give because I believe in systems that empower women — not hold them back. Collective giving creates that system, and the Waikato Women’s Fund makes it real."

As a CFO, Natasha Harvey knows the power of smart investment — and she brings that same mindset to her philanthropy. For Natasha, giving to Te Ira Wāhine o Waikato – the Waikato Women’s Fund is about creating long-term impact through community-led solutions.

She’s drawn to the Fund’s values of equity, collaboration, and wāhine-led change.

“We talk a lot about breaking ceilings — but sometimes we need to rebuild the whole room. That’s what the Fund helps do. It’s a way for women to pool their resources and back each other boldly.”

Natasha gives both financially and through her voice — amplifying the Fund’s kaupapa wherever she can. She knows that meaningful change doesn’t happen by accident; it’s built through consistent action, collective effort, and courageous generosity.

“This is about more than giving — it’s about creating a more just and inclusive Waikato. And it’s something every one of us can be part of.”
