HMC is proud to be the winner of the Montana Food and Events Community Contribution Award at the Waikato Chamber of Commerce Awards, 6 November 2026.
HMC Managing Director, Heather Claycomb, thanked her team and clients for making the award win possible. “My team at HMC are the ones doing the hard work that has made this award win possible. And a huge thank you goes to HMC’s clients for trusting HMC as their PR partner and giving us the resources we need to positively impact lives around the world.
“I've established my business in New Zealand nearly 23 years ago. And eight years ago, I made a big decision. HMC would remain a commercial business, but we'd give 100% of our profits to my family charity, All Good Ventures.
“That charity backs entrepreneurs building businesses that tackle poverty, bring healthcare to remote communities, help survivors of human trafficking rebuild their lives, create opportunities for young people living with disabilities to find friendship and joy – and so much more.
The businesses All Good Ventures has supported – backed by HMC’s profit donations - have now changed more than 558,000 lives in 15 countries, including New Zealand.
For every one dollar invested, two lives are changed.
“HMC is a small business, but the impact our purposeful profit investment has achieved shows what’s possible.”
The award judges provided the following feedback on HMC’s award application:
“The judges were exceptionally impressed by HMC Communications and All Good Ventures. This is an innovative, values-led model demonstrating what can happen when commercial success and social purpose are well designed and strategically aligned.
“HMC operates as a successful PR consultancy, with 100% of its profits directed to All Good Ventures, which supports social entrepreneurs through funding, mentoring and professional expertise. The concept is both simple and powerful: build a successful commercial business so that its success can enable others to create social impact.”
On the back of HMC winning the award, All Good Ventures released its 2026 Impact Report.
