Creating a digital space to equip a thriving community sector

The NZ Navigator Trust has an ambitious vision - to create a growing portfolio of digital spaces that provide easy access to a number of high quality tools and resources that equip community organisations and create a thriving charitable and community sector in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Our aim is to provide resources that are:

  • Simple - the resources are easy to use.
  • Relevant - they make sense to people.
  • Useful - they help people to solve a problem and/or to improve.
  • Trusted - they are curated by the community for the community.

The Trust currently has three free online tools:

NZ Navigator is an online self-assessment designed for community organisations to assess themselves across nine domains of operation including governance, strategic direction, finances, people management and communications.

The final assessment links the organisation to resources held on this website,  CommunityNet Aotearoa.

Digital Stuff We Love gives us a great way of sharing clever digital tools with New Zealand organisations. Most of the tools we highlight are free or low cost for not-for-profits.

Together these free tools enable groups to develop stronger organisations, set their own priorities for action and access resources to assist in that development.

Our resources:

The NZ Navigator Trust resources below include a number of:

  • resources we have created ourselves  and
  • lots of links to great resources we've found that have been developed by others.

We always acknowledge the developers of each resource - if we've linked to your resources and you would like to become a contributing organisation with your own profile page, please contact us.
