The wisemoney foundation is a community organisation that exists for the purpose of educating people with wise financial principles.

wisemoney is the realisation of the passion of Founder Phil Strong to see all New Zealanders empowered to achieve great things with their finances.

"Money is the biggest worry for a majority of Kiwi families," Phil says. "Sitting back and doing nothing about it just isn't an option".

For the last four years he has been running seminars on a voluntary basis, resourcing the wisemoney team and leading the development of the wisemoney concept.

The wisemoney foundation is a not for profit organisation and is a registered charitable trust with the Inland Revenue Department.

Why does wisemoney exist?

The wisemoney foundation exists for the sole reason of helping people improve their financial situation.

The philosophy we teach from is ...

"We must learn to be a master over money, so it doesn't rule us;
to make money our servant, so we don't become a slave to it;
and to respect money but not love money."

The Driving Force of our organisation is as follows:

"We serve the purpose of significantly impacting nations with wise thinking and habits about money."

Everything we do is focussed on achieving this.

Serving: Our fundamental passion is helping people and serving them to meet their needs. We specialise in the area of your finances.

Wisdom: We believe success comes from accepting and applying wise principles to our lives. We strive to empower you to improve your future and make progress towards your goals.

Hand-Up: We don't believe in giving hand-outs, but love to give you a hand-up so you can then help yourself.

Results: We are focused on seeing an impact in the finances of people throughout New Zealand. We want everyday New Zealand families to be in a better position financially because of our advice.

Helping people

The wisemoney foundation is a charitable trust established by founder Phil Strong. We are a registered not-for-profit organisation and are recognised as a charity by the IRD. We currently receive income from three sources: revenue from seminars, funding grants, and donations. (See Our Supporters page.) The reason we have established ourselves this way is so that all monies received by the foundation must be channelled directly back into helping people.

Change for good

The emphasis of our seminars and all our supporting material is to place the responsibility on individuals to implement change. Education without action does not make for life changing results. We purposefully create opportunities for people to change their futures.

Speaking of the future...

If we are going to change the future we must impact the next generation. We're currently working with schools to bring in creative fun ways for children to learn good money skills from an early age. We believe that education is "too late" if it's not provided before our young people leave school and enter the world.
