Help communities raise money for their environmental projects

Kia ora

Many individuals and not for profit organisations need to work tirelessly and often for free to apply for contestable environmental funding to do work in their respective areas. Te Toi Taiao was designed as a tool to work alongside schools, landowners, and other organisations to run environmental projects that benefit their respective regions.

I will work with groups to help them reach their aspirations to ultimately make their corners of Aotearoa NZ cleaner and greener while reaching their desired state. If you give to this cause, I will offset all proceeds to work with communities, for free, that need expertise and assistance in applying for funds. I have had success in applying for funds in the past and know what it takes to bring communities together and get projects across the line.

Your help would be greatly appreciated, however, I know there are plenty of other projects out there that could also benefit. So, it is with a humble and grateful heart that say thankyou in advance, or if not, then I would like to thanks you for reading and hope you can support one of these other wonderful projects.

The money that is raised will be used to offset the time and travel costs to meet with property owners from around the Waikato region to discuss what large scale and impactful projects can be done. Once this has been done, the money will be used to prepare documentation that can be sent to funding agencies. Normally the cost of paying a consultant to process this type of project will cost in excess of $120 per hour. However, from this money, only $30 per hour will be used, providing up to what would be 1000 hours of free labor and expertise for community groups which will significantly increase their chances of being successful.

If there is an excess of funds raised I will purchase trees to continue the good work of local organisations to continue to remediate environmental impacts in impoverished communities throughout the central North Island area.
