Giving BackTogether we make a difference
Founding Message
Our Philanthropy at Castlepoint Numa is driven by our engagement with and participation in the social and cultural Stakeholder networks that sustain our Communities. For us, it is not only a question of giving but also of receiving. We seek a meaningful dialogue with these Stakeholders where we learn and receive a deeper understanding of their work.
In this way, we know that Social enterprise, Community support groups and the Arts are to Cities and their Neighbourhoods what air is to the human body. These vital networks sustain us socially and spiritually. They provide pathways for inclusion and support where institutional mandates are not enough.
Castlepoint Numa is committed to supporting the tireless efforts of the many individuals and groups that shape and add so much value to the Communities where we live and work.Alfredo & Moira Romano
