About the site

CommunityNet Aotearoa focuses on providing the right tools to build and develop community organisations. CommunityNet Aotearoa was transferred to NZ Navigator (a partnership of community organisations working to encourage strong and sustainable organisations and communities) in 2017. A new organisation grew out this partnership - the NZ Navigator Trust.

The NZ Navigator Trust, focused on creating digital spaces to enhance the development of community organisations in New Zealand, looks after CommunityNet Aotearoa, the NZ Navigator organisational self-assessment tool, and Digital Stuff We Love (highlighting smart digital ways to work).
