More than $4 million in grants was awarded by the Rotorua Energy Charitable Trust in the last financial year.
The Trust has just released its annual report, announcing its results for the year ending March 31. The Trust will hold its 23rd annual general meeting in Rotorua on July 20.
Trust chairman Stewart Edward said it had been a year of significant change for the Trust, with four new trustees elected following the November elections and the first full year of the Trust's new operating structure.
"In addition, a further $4 million in grants were approved for a range of community groups and causes, bringing to over $107 million the total amount that the Trust has invested into the Rotorua community since 1994."
Mr Edward said the Trust had a strong history, and had been diligently guided by past and present trustees and staff, who helped transform its initial fund of $32 million to a value of around $142 million.
