Love Wānaka Partners and Supporters

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, so we couldn’t be more grateful to have the support of these incredible organisations.

Click through to hear about each of our key partners and supporters and learn about the role they play in Love Wānaka’s success.

Love Wānaka and Love Queenstown (our partner initiative over the hill) are delivered in partnership with the 45South Foundation (formerly Wakatipu Community Foundation) – a donor driven charitable trust that supports localised philanthropy in our region.

A portion of all funds raised are invested into an endowment fund with support from 45South – ensuring Love Wānaka creates long-term, substantial funding opportunities into the future.

45South is a registered charity in New Zealand (CC55258).

As our delivery partner, Lake Wānaka Tourism connects us with our local business community and our visitor audience, champions the initiative across their platforms, and provides the support we need to do what we do best.

Love Wānaka was the first project to come to life from our region’s newly adopted Destination Management Plan – Travel to a Thriving Future.

The DMP is led by Destination Southern Lakes, and is delivered in partnership with Lake Wānaka Tourism and Destination Queenstown.
