INTRODUCTION TO THE HOCKEY FOUNDATION MESSAGE FROM JON TANNER - CHAIRMAN In 2009, the Hockey New Zealand Board established a charitable trust Hockey Foundation. Its primary purpose is to create a long term sustainable funding stream to be invested in fostering the growth and development of hockey throughout New Zealand. The Foundation is aiming to raise funds through donations, bequests and targeted fundraising campaigns. The inaugural meeting of the founding trustees was held in February 2010. This comprised myself Jon Tanner, John Williamson (Chair of Hockey New Zealand) and Graham Child (past chair of Hockey New Zealand). Three further trustees have since joined the board - Elaine McCaw, (Member of the Wellington Hockey board and the Hockey New Zealand board), Geoff Laurence and Wayne Boyd (both past chairs of Hockey New Zealand). We are also delighted that Anna Lawrence, Mandy Barker, Ramesh Patel and Selwyn Maister, all former New Zealand representative hockey players have accepted an invitation to be Foundation Patrons. We are looking forward to engaging our Patrons in the work of the Hockey Foundation as it develops. The Hockey Foundation is very supportive of the strategic plan that Hockey New Zealand has put in place. We will be working closely with Hockey New Zealand to ensure grants from the Foundation are directed to the projects most in need. In 2010, the Board was primarily focused on creating the appropriate framework for the Foundation to work within and to develop a sound fundraising strategy that will ensure it can achieve its key objectives going forward. The fundraising strategy is comprised of three main projects: Endowment Fund: The aim is to build a significant Endowment Fund over the next three years. The main source of funds will be major donations and bequests and the income from this fund will be used to make grants for targeted projects being undertaken in the hockey community throughout New Zealand. Eight Regional Funds: The funds raised by the Foundation will assist with the regional projects, including the set up of the regional talent programmes which will foster the development of talented players and coaches in each of the eight regions throughout New Zealand. Junior Black Sticks to the World Cup 2013 Campaign: The objective is to raise funds to address the projected funding shortfall for the national U18 and U21 training camps and competitions that build towards the 2013 Junior World Cup. These programmes are integral to attracting, retaining and developing the depth of talent required for our national teams to be successful on the world stage. In 2010, the Foundation received 92,500 of income from donations, bequests and endowments, with a further pledge of 40,000. 1 HOCKEY FOUNDATION PROFILE

The bequest of 50,000 from the Chica Gilmour Estate will be applied to an annual scholarship for a talented female player or umpire in the under 19 age group who displays talent but may be restricted in developing that talent due to financial hardship or because of their physical remoteness/distance from a source of training. This has given us a good base upon which to launch our fundraising initiatives in 2011. We look forward to engaging and inspiring the hockey community to support the Foundation, to achieve its purpose of fostering the growth and development of hockey throughout New Zealand. JON TANNER Chairman, Hockey Foundation 2. HOCKEY FOUNDATION - THE CASE FOR SUPPORT IN BRIEF A strong and vibrant sport at grass roots is the catalyst for all forms of future success for the sport. As more people are given the opportunity to play hockey, our sport will grow, people will be hooked for life and New Zealand will be a step closer to repeating Olympic glory. We are fortunate to have an incredibly strong and passionate hockey community. Last winter 44,000 people registered to play and over 19,000 took to the field during summer. These players rely on a dedicated support base of 5,000 or so volunteers coaches, officials and administrators together, these players and volunteers are the lifeblood of our sport. With this nationwide involvement, commitment and passion, hockey is poised for development and growth. Hockey New Zealand has a plan to make this happen. But the development of the sport might not be possible without your partnership and involvement. Why? Over many years we ve had insufficient funds to invest in the development of our sport. We continue to lack the vital funding to put long term plans in place with certainty. We are unable to fuel the growth and development that the sport so desperately needs, to ensure the future of hockey in New Zealand has a well-deserved place on the world stage. What does it all mean? It means hockey in New Zealand is at risk. With limited financial resources we cannot plan programmes with certainty. If we are unable to secure funding, in any particular year, then we have no choice but to cut programmes. No investment means no development programmes, no international experience, no quality coaches; a decline in participation, then poor performance, which ultimately leads to no SPARC funding. It s a downward spiral. Unless there is a significant change in the way hockey programmes, at all levels, are funded, we will not see our talented young athletes achieve their full potential. Hockey New Zealand has a plan Sustainable investment in the future of hockey is the answer. To provide certainty around long term funding of future development, Hockey New Zealand made a strategic decision to establish the Hockey Foundation. Its primary purpose is to create a long term sustainable funding stream which will foster the growth and development of hockey nationwide and build a strong and vibrant hockey community. The Hockey Foundation s fundraising strategy is comprised of three main initiatives The establishment of eight Regional Funds to assist in the set-up of the Regional Talent Centres/Programmes The National Junior Programme (currently focussed on the Junior Black Sticks World Cup 2013 campaign) The Hockey Foundation Endowment Fund a capital fund which will generate an ongoing income stream. Development in the regions At the grass roots level our 32 Associations and eight regional bodies need certainty and support to grow local programmes Hockey New Zealand s strategy to transform Hockey is bold and inspirational. I have chosen to be an inaugural donor of the Foundation because of what the sport of hockey has taught me. It has taught me about hard work, skill, strategy, determination and teamwork, but above all else it has taught me about self belief and that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. I have been able to take what the game taught me and build a very successful business. I believe if we are to transform the game of hockey it needs leadership from those of us who are able to contribute. Making a contribution as a donor and building a successful Foundation will significantly enhance the opportunity for our players to win on the world stage and will be a legacy for all that follow.

that will meet the needs of a wide array of players and their families. It is critical that as players come through the age groups that they are supported and developed so they are retained in the sport. To address this, we aim to introduce a systematic approach to the identification and development of talent across the whole country. The introduction of Regional Talent Programmes will create hubs of skills and expertise to ensure a nationally consistent approach, utilising specialist skills and resources for coaching and talent identification developed nationally and delivered locally. Having reviewed the most successful programmes in New Zealand, we know that sustainable funding for a high calibre full-time coach and coaching programme is the best investment we can make. We also know we need two years of funding to ensure results and deliverables are achieved to a level that will attract new and ongoing funding support from within the region. This means that each region will require an investment of 50,000 to 100,000 to be available through donations and pledges to the Foundation. The approval of this money for release into a region will require an appropriate business case to support an application to the Hockey Foundation for investment in any region. The National Junior Programme Often the first time some of our talented young athletes are exposed to the rigours of international competition is when they reach the senior level and are selected into the national squads. We must be able to give them opportunities at an earlier stage in their sporting careers to build the depth and quality of play that is required to compete and be successful on the world stage. Toni Cumpston, Hockey New Zealand High Performance Director The initial focus of this feature of the Foundation programme is the Junior Black Sticks World Cup 2013 campaign. Unless the Hockey Foundation can support national Under 18 and Under 21 squad members to raise 300,000 per annum, this crucial programme involving national training camps and international competitions will not happen. The Endowment Fund - a long term solution Today we lack the vital funding to put in place the long term plans so urgently needed to ensure the future of Hockey in New Zealand. The Hockey Foundation s Endowment Fund is a capital fund that generates an income stream that will provide a sustainable funding solution to this problem. An investment in the Hockey Foundation is an investment in the hockey community, those who will drive and deliver our programmes, and the emerging athletes with the drive and determination to succeed at an international level. The Hockey Foundation Endowment Fund is not an emergency fund. It is part of a wider long term strategic plan focussed on achieving significant outcomes, delivering a genuine return on investment for those with the vision, passion and commitment to invest in the future of hockey in New Zealand. A sustainable future The Foundation offers this promise an opportunity for players to be the best they can be and for our teams to achieve success on the world stage. Anna Lawrence, Former Captain of the Black Sticks Women s Team The heart of the Hockey Foundation s vision is to support the growth and development of hockey. Hockey New Zealand has identified six national projects that will have the most significant impact on fuelling the growth and sustainability of hockey nationwide. When you put on that silver fern and hear the National Anthem you realise the importance of representing your country on the world stage. The experience gained, camaraderie developed and highs and lows shared with team mates is what makes playing the sport so satisfying. The Sydney Olympics is one of my fondest memories, we came so close to a medal opportunity but in the end it just wasn t to be. The exhilaration of the team performing at its best was such a buzz, they were special moments. The realisation that hockey can grow stronger through the development of this Foundation is a positive for the sport. It will enable our talented young athletes to compete successfully on the world stage and to create their very own special moments.

The overarching objectives of the plan are in line with the Hockey Strategy. They are to: Drive growth in participation attract and retain participants for life Create a strong, sustainable and capable organisation, to deliver hockey throughout New Zealand Win medals on the world stage Showcase hockey and captivate New Zealanders Grow sustainable revenues from hockey s products and brands The Hockey Foundation is fully supportive of the strategic plan that Hockey New Zealand has put in place. We will be working closely with Hockey New Zealand to ensure grants from the Foundation are directed to projects identified as most in need. Initially, the Hockey Foundation has set a goal to raise 2m in donations and pledges by 2012. There is no greater investment we can make in the sustainable development of the sport of Hockey in New Zealand. The Hockey Foundation is the vehicle by which you can join this incredible partnership to secure a future characterised by success and fulfilment of potential. So much is at stake! If the Hockey Foundation does not achieve its objective to raise the 2m needed by 2012, including the initial targets for the Endowment Fund, there is a genuine risk that Hockey in New Zealand will begin a downward spiral due to a lack of funding. The first programme at risk is the 2013 Junior World Cups, our pathway to outstanding achievement at the 2016 Olympics. Who will tell our aspiring players that dedication, commitment, talent and a drive to succeed is simply not enough? We cannot let this happen! Together we have the potential to transform hockey in New Zealand. Please join us and be part of a sustainable investment that will deliver a lifetime of opportunities and achievement to generations of New Zealanders to come. 3. 2010 FINANCIAL RESULTS The Trust Deed of the Hockey Foundation stipulates that a majority of the trustees of the Hockey Foundation must be appointed by the Hockey New Zealand Board.

That thrill of winning, being on top of the world, remains a defining moment in our hockey history. The ultimate challenge and reward for an elite athlete is to compete and perform at the highest level on the world stage. The satisfaction and delight in extending oneself beyond the limits of what you thought you were capable of makes all the hard work worthwhile. This Foundation will allow our elite hockey athletes the opportunity to push beyond the limits. Ramesh Patel 1976 Olympic Gold Medalist (1972 1986, 123 caps) 5 HOCKEY FOUNDATION PROFILE
