local events
Eastern Bay events keep it simple — a surf before work, coffee on the beach, a laid-back catch up with good people. Good company first, everything else in good time.
New to the area? Life's just shifted? Keen to meet people outside your usual circle? This is for you.
You don't need to be sporty, social, or already know half the room. Every event is designed so you can rock up solo and leave with a few more mates than you came with.

what's on
the team behind the fund
Bay Men's Fund in the Eastern Bay is new, but the people behind it aren't. It's managed by the Eastern Bay Community Foundation, based in Whakatāne.
A community foundation does two things with the donations it receives. Some of it is invested and kept growing permanently, so it can keep supporting the region long after the money was first given. The rest goes straight out the door each year, given directly to local charities and community groups.
The Eastern Bay Community Foundation has been doing exactly this for the Eastern Bay, supporting local charities and community groups while carefully growing the funds behind their support, for the future of the community.
Your donation works the same way. Part builds the Eastern Bay Men's Future Fund, growing for the long haul. The rest goes out this year, through the Foundation's same trusted process, straight to causes that matter to you, right now.
Welcome to your local fund
Eastern Bay is a tight community, but it can still be hard to make new mates. Bay Men's Fund — Eastern Bay brings guys from Whakatāne and the wider Eastern Bay together.
We run events worth showing up for, and support local causes that matter to this community.
Whether you're new here, keen to meet people outside your usual circle, or just want a good reason to get out of the house — this is for you.
