Thanks for your support!  3 December 2025

Thanks for all your support for the Fiordland Marine Search & Rescue. This year with amazing community support including this give-a-little page we have been able to fund the following critical things for our team -

- 2 x new harnesses and cinch straps

- A replacement airbridge for multiple person rescues

- Support the training and gear for a new rescue swimmer to join the team

- Multiple other bits and pieces required to run a professional standard search and rescue operation on a volunteer budget

Again, thankyou for all your support, it has undoubtably improved our Marine SAR capability for the large area we cover.

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.
