    Getting kids on the pitch since forever

    Macca's has been the primary sponsor of junior football in New Zealand for 20 years. We help thousands of players, coaches and referees with resources and equipment. Each season we award 150,000 Player of the Day certificates, 15,000 Player of the Day trophies and over the last 7 years have distributed 100,000 balls to clubs throughout the country, all in the hope of inspiring our future Football Ferns® and All Whites®.

    McDonald's Te Tai Tokerau Scholarship

    McDonald’s New Zealand established an annual sponsorship programme with AUT University in 1993. One of the longest running private tertiary scholarships in New Zealand, the primary aim of this scholarship was to extend education opportunities to Maori students from the Northland region, who may otherwise find it difficult to pursue a tertiary education. In 2016 the programme was extended to include a scholarship for students from the Gisborne Wairoa area.
