Sir Stephen Tindall
Founder and Chair, The Warehouse Ltd and The Tindall Foundation.
Sir Stephen&#;s vision for creating an organisation to provide support for worthwhile initiatives benefiting New Zealand and New Zealanders resulted in the establishment of The Tindall Foundation. This has grown to become Australasia&#;s single largest philanthropic trust and it has provided enormous behind the scenes support for many community groups and not-for-profit agencies. Its work in promoting a &#;hand up&#; rather than a &#;hand out&#; philosophy in environmental education and biodiversity, community and social support, in encouraging enterprise and innovation and in support for volunteers has been influential nationwide.
