Who we support

Here is a selection of projects which have received Alterno’s support. If your idea is unlike any of these, that’s not a bad thing!

 

Our primary areas of interest are:  HEALTH  FITNESS NUTRITION EDUCATION

But we do also support ideas and projects outside these areas which we perceive can have a major impact on making New Zealand a better place to live, work and play.
