Paekākāriki is an engaged and expressive community. This is our pocket universe: Paekākāriki.nz is developed and managed by the community.
Paekakariki, Wellington
We all have different things to give to make a strong Paekākāriki community.
Right now our collective website platform www.paekākāriki.nz is in financial trouble. We need to raise $9500 additionally this year.
After more than four years of operation - developed by the community, with some generous initial donors, and the weekly costs of an editor covered by over 50 local businesses/ services, we still have a funding shortfall to cover to keep funding our editor position: sharing community information, groups, listings, events, walks and publishing our stories. The site is remarkably valued: we have 5000 unique visitors a month.
If not helping in other ways can you help us with a donation? This can be anonymous or we can sing your praises.
Many people in the village give their time and their talents already. So we understand that it takes a village to make a place in different ways. But for those who can, we really appreciate it.
Provide reliable community information
Provide a platform for education for our youth
Be the people’s voice, representing and promoting the diversity of our community.
The funds will be spent on paying our one paid position going, our website editor who works for a day a week promoting our local services, events and stories and keeping us informed. It will cover some shortfall from the last year and ahead.
Kia ora community! 13 December 2023
