Let's build the Chapel that will be A Light To The City 24/7

Wellington

The Wellington City Mission's new building project Whakamaru seeks to create a vibrant community hub where there is no "us and them". The heart of Whakamaru will be the Chapel. It will be the only church in the inner city open 24/7. For those who find themselves alone, scared, or searching, the Chapel will be a place where the doors are always open. For people to encounter our good God, to experience his co-suffering love and the resurrected life that Jesus calls us into.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
