Pholen Foundation rocketspark website build

An Inspiring, Standalone Digital Home for Matamata’s Healthcare Legacy

We created an independent, modern website for the Pohlen Foundation Trust, separating their philanthropic mission from day-to-day hospital operations. By designing a dedicated platform with clear pathways to give, we made supporting local healthcare seamless while giving their team total freedom to share foundation news and manage fundraising events.

The brief

A dedicated, impact-driven website for a vital community trust The Pohlen Foundation Trust plays a crucial role in funding medical equipment and facility upgrades for Pohlen Hospital, but their digital presence was buried within a complex, shared hospital website. The restrictive, outdated setup made it nearly impossible for the team to share community news, promote donation drives, or update event details. They came to us with a clear goal: build an independent, professional digital home that honours their history, highlights their community impact, and makes supporting rural healthcare simple and engaging for everyone in Matamata.

Client goals
  • Establish Foundation Independence: Create a dedicated digital home separate from hospital operations to clearly highlight the Trust’s philanthropic mission. 

  • Streamline Donation Pathways: Build clear, intuitive options for online donations, legacies, bequests, and corporate sponsorships to maximise community support. 

  • Empower Content Management: Transition to a user-friendly platform so the team can easily post foundation news, update events, and add project updates without a developer. 

  • Showcase Local Impact: Design visually engaging layouts that spotlight funded medical equipment, facility upgrades, and real community stories. 

  • Honour Heritage & Community Trust: Deliver a warm, modern aesthetic that reflects the deep history of Pohlen Hospital and celebrates local donor generosity.
