The Strategic International Donors Network (SIDN) was launched by CT Trust in 2025 to connect generous New Zealanders who want to make a significant, high-impact difference in the world through their charitable giving.
SIDN is designed for donors who are interested in international development, effective philanthropy, and working together with like-minded individuals to maximise impact.

The Auckland Strategic Donor Forum 2026

The first SIDN Annual Gathering will take place in Spring 2026 in Auckland.

This will be a high-trust, round-table event for New Zealand donors typically giving $5,000+ annually to international causes. The weekend is designed for connection, discussion, and learning – all in a gentle, inclusive, and thoughtful environment.

Planning is also underway for forums in Wellington, Christchurch, and Australia.
