The PMG Charitable Trust was set up specifically to address this and help build the financial futures of young New Zealanders. We believe everyone has the right to financial success, but not everyone has the know-how.
Watch this short video on why PMG Funds’ established the Trust and its activities.
To help build the financial futures of young New Zealanders, through education, connection and collaboration with PMG Funds and its stakeholders.
The Trust achieves this by being involved in and supporting the following organisations.
Supporting and funding the delivery of impactful financial literacy programmes in schools targeted at Year 10 (14- and 15-year-old) students.
Developing and maintaining engaging financial literacy tool(s) for students and young New Zealanders to use inside and out, of the classroom.
Collaborating with credible organisations working to support 18 to 25 year old school leavers, apprentices, and students as well as disadvantaged or disengaged young people, by providing financial literacy knowledge and experience into their existing programmes.
Positively influencing providers (and supporters) of financial literacy programmes to work together to improve the financial futures of young New Zealanders more than their education currently provides.
Secondary school students in year 10 (aged 14 and 15 years) who are eligible to be in their first paid employment.
School leavers, older students, apprentices aged 18 to 25 years who may be managing their own money for the first time.
Youth with limited access to, and at risk of being disengaged with, education, training or employment.
$392,416 raised since the Trust's inception in 2021.
21,000 Year 10 students through our partners, Life Education Trust New Zealand (LETNZ) SMART$ Financial Literacy programme.
500 Year 10 students piloted PMG flip - our online financial literacy tool. Results show high engagement, understanding, and teacher support.
Delivered financial literacy workshops to 200 Graeme Dingle Foundation Career Navigator participants.
Measured the performance of the programmes, and their Social Return on Investment (SROI).
Joined industry partnerships including Commission for Financial Capability (CFFC's) National Strategy for Financial Capability Partnership, and the Education Partnership and Innovation Trust.
The PMG Charitable Trust is developing a digital financial literacy product which will be delivered directly to year 10 students and our partners’ programme participants around New Zealand. It is a tool our partners do not currently have and have asked the PMG Charitable Trust to build, own and deliver for them.
Once developed the tool could be used with over 5000 year 10 students, in its first year and is highly scalable to be used by many more students and young New Zealanders. The PMG Charitable Trust is working with educators, teachers, students, financial experts, our delivery partners and utilising the knowledge of the PMG Funds’ team, to develop the tool.
