Investing in older persons’ wellbeing through smart dementia support
In 2024/25, we announced our first impact investment in the older persons’ wellbeing market via a new, landmark agreement with Ōtepoti Dunedin-based ...
The agreement with Elli Cares was announced on 15 May 2025 at the “Scaling Investments into Social Impact” forum co-hosted by the Foundation, the Impact Investing Network and Forsyth Barr. This event brought together impact investors, philanthropists, intermediaries, impact-led enterprises and pioneers in the social impact investment ecosystem to explore how investing capital into scalable investment opportunities can deliver competitive financial returns alongside transformative outcomes for communities – in economic participation, ageing well, health and more.
With this potential for social good, therefore, Selwyn invites others to partner with us to deliver values-aligned social impact at scale, so that every older person in Aotearoa New Zealand can age with dignity and respect, now and in generations to come.
