Aotearoa Lifecourse Fund (ALF) aims to find, fund and scale evidence-based programmes that improve the lifecourse outcomes of tamariki and rangatahi in Aotearoa.

Lifecourse science identifies important ingredients in childhood that lay the foundations for happy, healthy, successful lives as adults, and building lifecourse skills in childhood can be a circuit-breaker for intergenerational disadvantage.

Over the next five years, ALF will invest $10m into programmes that improve the long-term wellbeing of tamariki and rangatahi.

ALF will also work closely with government funders and policymakers to support effective government investment that prioritises prevention, and high-quality, scalable approaches to improving lifecourse skills across our population.

ALF is a registered charity, funded by generous donors, and co-founded by Izzy Horrocks and Jimmy McLauchlan .
