Clive Pedley (Chair)

Clive has been involved in advising the for-purpose sector for over 20 years. Clive was part of earlier conversations about a Community Foundation in our region as far back as 2011 and this eventually led to taking on the challenge of establishing Te Awa Community Foundation. With regional farming history in the family going back a few generations, Clive made a commitment to remain based in this region many years ago. Clive has enjoyed the opportunity to take all of the lessons gleaned from years of professional roles raising funds and investments for many for-purpose organisations throughout New Zealand and Australia, applying it here, to our region, to create lasting intergenerational change.

Clive is a Certified Fund Raising Executive, a former President of the Fundraising Institute of New Zealand, and has sat on several Boards locally and nationally and has been at the forefront of establishing impact investment in New Zealand. Clive is the CEO and Director of Giving Architects New Zealand.
