The Draco Foundation promotes democracy and the preservation of natural justice through two operational arms: Council Watch and the National Residents' Associations Database. These activities, along with the Foundation itself, are non-partisan and funded through private donations. All the work performed by the Trust is adopts a community-centric approach and is run by volunteers. Draco Foundation aims to educate the public about how the law works, especially around local government. They undertake research, hold forums and conferences, publish articles, and bring people from the civil society sector together. The Trust operates in the civil society sector, mainly with residents associations. Draco funds Council Watch - a website that improves transparency, accountability and best practice in local government - and also the National Residents' Association Database.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.civilsociety.org.nz/draco/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.civilsociety.org.nz/1documents/Draco_DOT.pdf )〕 ==Notable Activities== In 2010 the Trust convened the first national conference for New Zealand residents' and ratepayers' associations, at the Grand Hall of parliament buildings, Wellington. That same year the Trust appealed a decision by the Charities Commission to refuse registration as a charitable entity. The appeal was rejected by the court in a decision by Ronald Young J, handed down on 15 February 2011.〔http://www.nzlii.org/nz/cases/NZHC/2011/368.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Draco Foundation (NZ) Charitable Trust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
