Let each star in the sky shine its own light.

Thank you to the thousands of participants and supporters who help us turn dreams into reality for Generites seeking financial independence, growth, and income for themselves and their whānau. Together we have:

·      Supported over 2,000 New Zealanders with Community Service Cards throughout the motu.

·      Funded $3.75 million in seed funding and mentorship.

·      Impacted micro-enterprise startups (51% Māori, 34% Pasifika), helping them gain new skills and achieve financial independence.

·      Enabled sustainable income, with only 2% of Generites not continuing their enterprise a year later.
