Maurice comes from a solid background in grant writing including The Wellington City Mission and Arthritis NZ, and a host of other charitable trusts as a volunteer. He has a degree in economics, and brings a macro and micro lens to his grant writing. He greatly enjoys working with the funders as they are keen to work with organisations in our local communities and together we make a difference. To relax he loves playing golf, and is a member at Miramar links – he is very open to discussing his role over 18 holes.
