The Ākina Foundation

We believe social entrepreneurs and social enterprise represent a powerful opportunity to build a new economy that regenerates the environment and creates social foundations for people to thrive.

We offer development support to people with ideas for social or environmental change; people who run early stage social enterprises; established social enterprises that are preparing themselves for investment; and organisations that are interested in exploring whether a social enterprise model is right for them.

We help people build validated business models and investment strategies that will enable them to grow and develop their enterprise to create transformational impact.
