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.
MISSION
Our mission is to create inclusive and empowering sports and recreation events that foster active participation, promote Turangawaewae, Manamotuhake, Hauora and Manaakitanga and to celebrate the diverse rainbow communities in Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific.

Our vision is to create a future where rainbow communities are empowered and fully included in sports and recreation. By participating in the Rainbow Games events, we envision a society that embraces and supports the diverse identities and expressions of our communities, where all individuals feel safe, accepted, and valued. We strive to build vibrant and inclusive events that promotes diversity, equity, and wellbeing, and contributes to a stronger, healthier, and more inclusive future.
