Investing in our community
For a better future
Ted Manson has consistently provided substantial financial support to numerous charities, sports and community organisations over many years.
To mark the 40th Anniversary of Mansons and Ted’s 60th birthday, Ted formed the Ted Manson Foundation with the purpose of making a difference to those most in need. Ted donated $7,500,000 to the Ted Manson Foundation in July 2014 and in the first year alone the foundation received over 200 applications for funding. The Foundation enables a more co-ordinated and larger scale contribution to the Auckland Community.
