Our Supporters

The Little Miracles Trust is Aotearoa New Zealand’s national neonatal charity. We’re here to help

Need Support?

The Little Miracles Trust is a charitable trust and relies heavily on cash sponsorship, value-in-kind support and donations to deliver our

much-needed services.

Without their help, we could not provide our support to whānau of premature or sick full-term babies as they make their journey through Neonatal Intensive Care, the transition home, and onwards.
 
The wider neonatal community is large and is made up of individuals who are all consumers and in many cases business owners or in charge of purchasing decisions.
 
Where possible, it would be great if you could consider supporting the great organisations below who support us.

The Little Miracles Trust is supported by some incredible Funders & Corporate Sponsors.

Wētā Workshop

The Little Miracles Trust is fortunate to have the very generous support of Sir Richard and Lady Tania Taylor and their world-famous company Wētā Workshop.

Wētā Workshop use its significant resources to facilitate raising funds and awareness for the Trust. Sir Richard and Lady Tania are the Patrons of the Trust and their support in this capacity is priceless.

Woolworths

We are grateful for the support of Woolworths New Zealand, whose generosity helps us make a real difference for whānau with premature or unwell pēpi in neonatal units across Aotearoa.

Thanks to their support, we can sustain our Family Assistance Fund, which provides practical relief to families experiencing financial hardship during long and often unexpected hospital stays. Through food and fuel vouchers, this fund helps ease some of the burden, allowing parents to focus on what matters most — being there for their baby.

Chiesi

We’re grateful for the ongoing support of Chiesi who help us make a real difference for whānau with babies in neonatal care.

Caring for people throughout their journey – from the very beginning of life – is deeply aligned with both our missions. Chiesi’s commitment to improving outcomes for premature and unwell babies, and supporting their families, continues to have meaningful impact.

As a global, research-driven biopharmaceutical company, Chiesi brings innovative solutions to respiratory health, rare diseases, and neonatal care. We’re proud to partner with a company so dedicated to both people and the planet.

Wright Family Foundation

We are deeply thankful to the Wright Family Foundation for their generous, ongoing support of Little Miracles Trust.

Their commitment to nurturing the potential of every child and supporting strong, connected families is closely aligned with our work in neonatal care. With their backing, we’re able to provide vital support to families through our Emergency Care Packs – filled with practical items and comforting resources for those facing a neonatal journey – and our free developmental playgroups, where babies who’ve graduated from NICU or SCBU can play, grow, and thrive in a supportive, specialist-led environment.

One Percent Collective

The Little Miracles Trust is grateful to have the ongoing support of One Percent Collective — a fantastic not-for-profit Kiwi organisation making a big difference through small, regular giving.

One Percent Collective covers all processing costs, meaning 100% of each donation goes directly to the chosen charity. Their generous model allows the Little Miracles Trust to focus less on fundraising and more on what truly matters — supporting families through the stress and uncertainty of a neonatal journey.

Matt Renner

Matt Renner is an Information Technology Consultant with wide experience in business IT. Matt specialises in business solutions driven by web technology, but also has a keen interest in strategy and operations. The Little Miracles Trust is very grateful to have Matt Renner provide valuable information technology services to the Trust nationwide on a pro-bono basis.

Our Patrons

Sir Richard & Lady Tania Taylor

Co-owners and founders of WētāWorkshop based in the Wellington suburb of Miramar, Richard and Tania Taylor are proud supporters of The Little Miracles Trust. This comes from a personal experience when their son needed life-savoing surgery as a baby, and the resulting care and support shown to them by the Wellington Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Richard and Tania continually support the work of the Trust in many capacities, and give very generously of their time to promote awareness and assist with fundraising activities.

The Trust is extremely proud and honoured to have the Taylors as Patrons.
