Land set aside in perpetuity by ������Դ will become a 4.5-kilometre-long research-led environmental and educational park along the banks of the Turitea Stream. A first of its kind in the world, Te Waimana o Turitea will provide a literal pathway for students to Massey and a dynamic educational park that will showcase Massey’s environmental, soil and plant sciences to the local community, environmentalists, farmers and national and international visitors. Working closely with mana whenua, the health of the Turitea Stream will be enhanced.

To bring the vision to life, Massey Foundation’s For a Better World campaign has a goal of building Massey’s endowment fund to $100 million of assets by the end of 2027, coinciding with the university’s 100th anniversary.

������Դ Chancellor Alistair Davis says, “The For a Better World Campaign is a bold and visionary plan for the Foundation. Achieving the $100 million goal would be an appropriate capstone for the university’s centenary.”

Massey is a world leader in the food and fibre, design, environment and public health sectors, supporting New Zealand with leadership, highly skilled graduates and industry-driven research.

A gift to Massey helps solve major global challenges and creates "A Better World". It will enable Massey to help pioneer solutions for some of the most compelling issues of our time: issues like sustainable food production, food safety and security, water quality, alternative energy sources and flood mitigation.

Massey Foundation chair Bryan Mogridge ONZM says, “The problems that we seek to solve are not small and will take the best and boldest academic minds. Massey needs more world-class academics, scholarships to attract students in areas critical to New Zealand’s future prosperity, and an environmental transformation to show our world-leading work in action that will also drive tourism and recreation in Manawatū.

“Our plans are unapologetically ambitious, but we believe with donors’ help we can make the world a better place for all.”

For a Better World calls on alumni, staff, friends and supporters to invest in three initiatives to help Massey to prepare for the next century and impact on major global challenges:

1. Te Waimana o Turitea – $12 million for the first stage of a first-of-its-kind research, teaching and educational park

To be built along the banks of the Turitea Stream and open to the public, will provide a literal pathway to study. It will showcase Massey’s credentials in agriculture, horticulture, design and the environment, and it will provide a unique recreational teaching and learning facility. Massey plans to develop stage one of the garden for its upcoming centenary.

1. The Achiever Fund – $10 million sought to attract and retain New Zealand’s best students

The will stage new scholarships to attract more young people/rangatahi to study in the critical shortage areas of food, agriculture, horticulture, veterinary medicine and the environment who can take up key management and critical development roles in the decades ahead.
