Share My Super founder Liz Greive says she’s honoured to be named as a Forbes Asia “Hero of Philanthropy” for 2024. “I am passionate about enabling my generation to invest in the bright future of our young people,” said Greive. “I hope my story shows the joy, hope and energy that philanthropy can bring to the giver as well as the recipient.”
Only 15 heroes of philanthropy were chosen for “having made significant contributions and demonstrated commitment to causes they cherish over the past year.” Greive is one of only two women to make the list as individuals.
A former social worker, Grieve founded Share My Super in 2018 as a way for people to share any surplus superannuation they receive with partner charities focussed on making a difference for New Zealand children. The Forbes honour acknowledges Grieve’s gift of $10 million in late 2023 to ensure Share My Super operating costs are covered in perpetuity, so all other supporters’ gifts go directly to the partner charities, with no overheads or administration fee taken by Share My Super itself.
“Liz more than deserves this tribute, not only for her generosity and caring focus but also for the wonderful way she’s enabling other people receiving surplus superannuation to also make a difference alongside her,” said Share My Super chief executive Rachel Scott. “The Share My Super model empowers people to contribute meaningfully as philanthropists in a hassle-free way.”
