New Zealand Olympic Committee Australia

As the countdown begins for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games, the New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) is proud to launch a bold new philanthropic initiative - the Brisbane 2032 Partnership. This landmark campaign, led by the New Zealand Olympic Committee Australia Ltd, is the opportunity for New Zealanders to stand beside the New Zealand Team as they prepare for the “Home” Games.

The Olympic Games are more than competition – they are a global stage where perseverance, excellence and national pride come to life, where the New Zealand Team captures the world’s attention and forges our identify. For our New Zealand Team, these values are our spirit of Manaaki – lifting each other up, striving for excellence, inspiring pride and uniting our nation – at a time we need it the most.

The Brisbane 2032 Partnership campaign aims to raise much needed funds over the next eight years to support the New Zealand Olympic Team’s journey to Brisbane. These funds will directly support Australia-based costs for athletes' preparation, performance, and wellbeing, from pre-Games training camps to travel, logistics, and Games-time operations and delivery.

Despite the deep pride the New Zealand Team ignites, the New Zealand Government, via Sport New Zealand, only contributes 12-15% to the New Zealand Olympic Committee’s (NZOC) annual income. Unlike many nations with mega funded Olympic programmes, the NZOC relies on commercial sponsorship and now, more than ever, the vision and commitment of our philanthropic Donor Family to fund the needs of our New Zealand Team. This critical funding helps ensure our athletes have the resources, preparation and support they need to compete at their best when it counts the most.

But this campaign goes beyond medals. It’s about igniting a legacy of excellence, inspiration, and national pride that resonates far beyond the field of play.

Why This Matters

At the Olympic Games, athletes compete with the weight of a nation on their shoulders - and they deserve every possible advantage. For New Zealand athletes, sports, and the New Zealand Olympic Committee, the pathway to Brisbane is filled with potential but also financial pressure. Your philanthropic investment can be a game-changer.

• Level the playing field: Help ensure our athletes are not disadvantaged by distance, funding, or access to performance resources.
• Support when it counts: Fund travel, logistics, and high-performance preparation in Australia as our athletes gear up for the Games.
• Champion our culture: Invest in the values of Manaaki, excellence, and unity that define New Zealand on the world stage.
• Inspire the next generation: Your impact will echo for years to come.
