The Matakana Hall Com. is eager to install Solar Panels and batteries to enable the Hall to be a Community Hub in the case of an Emergency.

Matakana, Auckland

Matakana Hall Committee is eager to enable Matakana Hall as a Community Emergency Hub when there's a Critical Event and install Solar Panels and batteries to provide an off-grid power source. Foundation North have donated a $15.000 grant towards the costs but we now need to match this to get the project underway.

Solar panels with batteries will enable the Hall to provide the essentials for the community: water, toilets, lights, charging stations and hot water in the event of power outages.

Any contribution, big or small, will help build resilience for the community when it's needed most.

About us

Matakana Hall Society Inc. is the entity that owns and runs Matakana Hall for the benefit of the community. It has charitable status.

Use of funds

We need to match the grant from Foundation North to enable us to buy and install Solar panels and batteries at the Hall.

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.
