Institutional bridge from an intergovernmental initiative to funded technical and policy programmes

Christchurch Call Foundation

The Christchurch Call Foundation is the independent support organisation established to carry forward the Christchurch Call's work on terrorist and violent extremist content online. A joint New Zealand–France announcement set 1 July 2024 for the transition of support functions, subsequently reported by New Zealand's foreign ministry.

From support transition to reusable guidance

The 2023 proposal sought a separate legal capacity for broader fundraising, global hiring and secondments; its proposed governance split is not a substitute for the founding instruments. Later records identify philanthropic grants and a Canadian contribution naming The Christchurch Call Foundation as recipient. A ROOST partnership was announced in February 2025, before that Canadian award. The Foundation also contributed a terrorist-content policy pack to ROOST Model Community. The record does not identify a ROOST subaward or transfer of platform enforcement authority.

Paid depth of support, separate identity

This is not Christchurch Call Foundation's Elevate. Different hosts and stated programmes establish distinct identities despite the shared name. The Canadian CCF contribution must not finance the Coalition's consulting service by name matching.
