The RAINBOW GAMES story

The Pacific Rainbow Games Trust is a non-profit charitable trust. The Trust will foster a community that encourages participation, understanding and acceptance of people of diverse sexualities and gender identities. Established to oversee the delivery and legacy outcomes of the 2024 games held in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. At the completion of the 2024 Games, the Trust will continue to govern while working with Rainbow communities to provide policy and direction to the management of a potential long-term home-grown event.
