The Helen Clark Foundation and the Auckland University of Technology (AUT) partnered in 2019, and AUT hosts the Helen Clark Foundation at AUT's City Campus. The partnership aligns with AUT's commitment to research for the public good, and public communication of research. AUT supports the Helen Clark Foundation's aim to make high quality public policy research more accessible, and to deliver an evidence-based perspective on policy issues. AUT's support is not an endorsement of any individual item of work, output or statement made by the Helen Clark Foundation's staff, board, or patron.

The partnership between the Helen Clark Foundation and WSP New Zealand began in 2019, and is focused on how the built and natural environments of Aotearoa New Zealand can best be prepared for the future. The partnership supports evidence-based reports and insights to stimulate public debate and policy action.
