The 5% Project
At Shining Peak we’re strong believers that every business should have a social mission at its core. Our mission is for our beer to make the world a better place.
Every month 5% of our beer revenues from our venues, are donated to a different local Taranaki organisation. Not profits…… revenues, that’s approximately 30 to 50% of our venue’s profit – we give away to local organisations each and every month. No terms and conditions, no small print – we just put the money straight into the back pockets of important local organisations and charities here in Taranaki.
Drink Beer, Do Good.
Destination Play - Taranaki Foundation
Destination Play at Kāwaroa, an initiative of the Taranaki Foundation in partnership with mana whenua of Ngāmotu, Ngāti Te Whiti, New Plymouth District Council and NP Partners, will be created in 2023 and is designed as a legacy for future generations. It will be a futuristic family-friendly experience that brings the unique nature, culture, histories and stories of the site playfully alive.
Stage One construction is set to begin in Spring 2023 with approx. 80% of the estimated project cost is secured and the balance is currently being raised through philanthropic donations, sponsorship and in-kind contributions from individuals, organisations, funders and trusts. NP Partners and Taranaki Foundation are also encouraging public engagement and contributions to help bring the project fully to life.
Together, let’s build Destination Play and transform New Plymouth’s Kāwaroa Park for all ages to play, enjoy and explore – a place that will gather our community and celebrate our region’s rich culture, heritage, ecology.
We’re inviting contributions from our Taranaki community to get involved and join us in delivering this world-class new play and learning space.
