For over 35 years, Great Potentials Foundation has worked alongside families to break cycle of disadvantage and help children build brighter futures. Our mission is simple but powerful: to work with children and young people, help them, their families and communities to thrive.

Please help provide vital support to children and families who need it most. Donate before 31 March and claim a 33% tax credit.

Your donation will support evidence-based programmes that help children arrive at school ready to learn, support young people to stay engaged in education, and empower parents to support their children’s development.

Your donation supports three life-changing programmes:

⭐ HIPPY - helping parents of children aged 2–5 become their child’s first and most important teacher.

⭐ MATES - connecting young people with mentors who help them believe in their potential.

⭐ Family Service Centres - providing wraparound support for families facing challenges.

With your support, children can gain confidence at school, young people stay connected to education, and families feel more hopeful.

Your donation helps provide this vital support to children and families who need it most. Donate before 31 March and claim a 33% tax credit.

Together, we can help children and whānau grow and thrive across Aotearoa.

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.
