Growth category investors will soon be able to include a small amount of philanthropy as part of their investment.
The Government today announced a targeted change to the Active Investor Plus Visa to support high value investment.
From 1 June 2026, new applicants in the Growth category will be able to include philanthropy, capped at 20 percent of their total investment.
This keeps the focus on investments that grow New Zealand’s economy, while allowing a small portion to support eligible charities and conservation projects.
Safeguards will ensure philanthropic investments are genuine, meet eligibility requirements, and do not personally benefit applicants.
