Founded by Gina Satterthwaite and taking its name from Gina’s grandmother, Fife Foundation aims to continue the hard work of previous generations in ways that help people live happier, healthy lives while benefiting the planet.
Fife Foundation is a not-for-profit entity headquartered in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand with a presence in Sydney, Australia.
The Fife family’s roots in Aotearoa New Zealand date back more than a century, and for much of this time, Margaret Fife served as Managing Director of the family business Gough, Gough and Hamer – better known in the industry as exclusive agents of Caterpillar Equipment in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Specialising in construction, engineering, mining, marine, forestry and materials handling, GG&H was one of the oldest dealerships of Caterpillar equipment outside of the United States.
These days, the history serves as a source of inspiration to the family as they seek to use their position to enrich the lives of others less fortunate and fast-track actions that can aid the health of the planet.
We partner with organisations to create lasting change in the world that publicly inspires compassion and empathy. Learn more about how we decide what to support.
