Mrs Liz Greive, MNZM, of Auckland, for services to child poverty reduction
Liz Greive is founder of Share My Super, a charity which assists New Zealanders with surplus superannuation to donate the funds to causes focused on alleviating child poverty. She has helped hundreds of superannuants to donate almost $2 million to the Women’s Refuge, First Foundation, Child Poverty Action Group, Te Pā and Kids Can, amongst others.
