Help Kickstart Brewsers Coffee Shop

Help Build Our Community Hub

Kairakau, Hawke's Bay Region

For 5 years we have been wanting to support our rural community by opening a coffee shop and convenience store. Farming is an isolated occupation and currently there is no hub where people can meet to catch up and build community, not to mention the 45 minute drive (one way) to get supplies if you are a camper at one of the local beaches...

Just before Christmas, Bruce was made redundant again (the 3rd time in 5 years!) and has still yet to obtain the full time work to fund our venture. While we have been able to scrape the money together to build the shop, we have now run short of funds to get the parking lot built, landscape, buy outdoor furniture and actually stock the shop. Due to the fact that Bruce is now unemployed, we have been unable to obtain lending from the usual channels.

We are seeking your help to get our project operational and we estimate we need about $10,000 to complete the work required. Please help us to help our community! We'd be very grateful.

Use of funds

$3000 Parking lot and seating area, $1000 Landscaping, $1500 Outdoor Furniture, $2000 Electrical, $2500 Stock for Shop (groceries, snack foods, coffee beans, coffee syrups etc)

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.
