Backing People.
Building Community.
Making a Difference.
The Hodge Foundation is a family-led charity created to support people through practical help, financial relief, and opportunities that make life a little easier
At the heart of The Hodge Foundation is a commitment:
A New Name. The Same Heart.
We’ve changed our name… but not our purpose.
After more than a decade as the Cater Plus Foundation, we are proud to step into our next chapter as The Hodge Foundation.
This change reflects our growth and our desire to continue making a meaningful difference for people across Aotearoa, while still honouring the incredible legacy built as the Cater Plus Foundation.
Our Roots.
Our story started with a simple moment of kindness = an $800 car repair that helped someone keep their job, avoid debt, and stay on their feet.
That moment became a spark.
That spark became a legacy.
Since 2012, the Cater Plus Foundation has supported individuals, families, and community groups all across Aotearoa.
We are proud of where we came from but beyond any single business The Hodge Foundation carries that legacy forward
What We Do.
We provide practical, respectful support to people and communities across Aotearoa, when it matters most.
Through interest-free loans, quiet kindness, and community-led grants and sponsorships, we help remove barriers, restore dignity, and create real opportunities to move forward.
Because meaningful change doesn’t come from one-size-fits-all solutions — it comes from meeting people where they’re at.
Our support is practical, human, and designed to help people move forward with dignity.
Even the smallest act can create lasting impact

Life can throw some curve balls and we are here to help.
