Become a Searchlight supporter for Land Search and Rescue

Nationwide

For many people across New Zealand, the fear of losing someone close becomes a reality when a child, a spouse, a friend, an elderly parent, or family member living with dementia, neurodivergence or disability —goes missing.

With a quarter of our operations occurring in urban areas looking for vulnerable members of the community our volunteer responders truly are Everywhere for Everyone.

Throughout May, support Land Search and Rescue by searching for our missing mascot! Head to www.landsar.org.nz, find 'Seek' the dog.

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.

I didn't realise the work you do with vulnerable members of the community until you saved one of my neighbours who went missing. Thank you so much to all of the volunteers.
