Cust Pool Solar Fundraising

$3,100 of $63,000 goal

Given by 11 generous donors in around 4 months

Help us raise funds to heat our community pool so children can reap the benefits of water safety in a warm and comfortable environment.

Canterbury

Our community has come together to raise funds for solar heating the Cust pool so families can reap the benefits of water safety, sports and fun in a warm and comfortable environment!

With over 100 children using the swimming pool in the summer months, our community would love to give children a better chance at enjoying water sports and learning water safety in a swimming pool that is warm and comfortable so they can gain their confidence along with all the benefits of water play.

By providing heating for this pool will not only make the summer months more enjoyable to swim in, but it will also extend swimming into the shoulder seasons.

With your help, we can make a difference!!

Use of funds

All funds will go to the purchase of the solar panels, installation and the structure on which to build them on.

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.
