Since its founding in 1985, the NZAF Trust Board has amended its trust deed on several occasions to facilitate good governance.
The most recent amendment to the deed was signed and executed in March 2021. The new deed had been the subject of consultation with members and discussion at the NZAF AGM in November 2020.
The main changes introduced in the March 2021 amendment were:
More recently, in December 2021, the NZAF Trust Board met and passed a special resolution recommending that the name of the organisation be changed to Burnett Foundation Aotearoa. In May 2022, the Board met and passed a further special resolution recommending that the trust deed be amended to reflect the new name.
The amendment to the deed to reflect the new name for the NZAF is currently being prepared. The amendment will update the references in the current deed to the name of the organisation and make other consequential amendments only. No other substantive provisions will be amended. Once completed, the amendment will be submitted to DIA Charities Services and the Companies Office for public registration.
