Danielle Maree Watson Born on March 6th, 2003, is the visionary founder of Coastie Community and multiple secondary charities in New Zealand Remarkably, by the age of 20, she had independently built and established several non-profit organisations and orchestrated over 20 events.

In early 2020, Coastie Community officially took shape with a dedicated location and secured funding. Late in 2021, Danielle's commitment to community outreach led to the inception of Coastie Events, enabling direct engagement with the community. She orchestrated and managed numerous festive events such as Coastie Kids Christmas, Coastie Kids Halloween, and Coastie Kids Easter, all offered free of cost with aim to uplift low-income people’s.

Danielle's vision expanded further as she introduced New Zealand's inaugural "Community Care Fare" within her events in 2022. Attendees gained access to essentials like pantry items, hygiene products, and self-care items free of cost. Single-handedly, Danielle sourced over $100,000 NZD worth of products, funding, and services through strategic brand sponsorships, collaborative partnerships, and local community support. This groundbreaking event provided a platform for interaction with essential community services.

In 2023, Danielle's dedication reached new heights with the establishment of Coastie Woman, Coastie Men, Coastie Kids, and Coastie Collective. These initiatives brought forth weekly classes tailored for mothers, youth, fathers, and the elderly, fostering a sense of community and learning within the Hibiscus Coast.
