Diprose Miller is proud to have received the Contribution to Community Award at the 2025 Matamata-Piako District Council’s Business Night Out. This award recognises the positive impact our directors and staff are making within our local community - and in particular, the difference that our Diprose Miller Community Fund is making to a wide range of local groups.

Why this award matters a lot to us

Community has always been at the heart of Diprose Miller. For us, success isn’t just measured in numbers; it’s measured in the wellbeing of the people and groups around us. Being recognised for our contribution affirms the values we live by: supporting local organisations, helping people feel they belong, and celebrating the region we live in.

About the Diprose Miller Community Fund

The Diprose Miller Community Fund was established to provide practical support to not-for-profit organisations and individuals who are working hard to make our communities better places to live. The fund contributes towards specific project costs that might otherwise not be affordable - easing financial pressure so groups can focus on what matters most.

The impact so far

Since its launch, the fund has supported a wide range of initiatives, from local sports clubs to schools, theatre, art and music groups, programmes supporting vulnerable people and community projects within the farming sector. Whether it’s new uniforms for a sports team, resources for a service to the community, or helping a local group host an event, each contribution adds up to stronger connections and greater opportunities across our district.

Looking ahead

We’re honoured to be recognised with this award - but more importantly, we’re excited to continue investing in the wellbeing of our community. As our district grows and changes, we remain committed to supporting those who make a difference every day.

Congratulations also to the many other winners and finalists celebrated on the night - together, we’re building a vibrant, connected, and resilient community.
