04 — Community Mission
Kept Free by Community Koha
A Non-Profit Commitment
Future Knight Charitable Trust is a registered New Zealand charity (CC65047) and non-profit based in Rotorua. We believe essential neighbourhood tools should be free for everyone — not locked behind paywalls or ads.
Every project we operate — BinNotify, Whānau Care, and those to come — runs on a strictly non-profit basis. No project charges the public, and no project exists to make a profit. They stay 100% free through voluntary community koha and local business sponsorships.
Every contribution goes straight back into keeping the services running, accurate, and useful for Rotorua households.
