🎉 Help Us Celebrate 15 Years of CanBead!

$440 of $20,000 goal
Given by 11 generous donors in 4 weeks

Wish us a happy 15th anniversary and keep our connections going for another 15!

Nationwide

For 15 years, CanBead has been bringing comfort, connection, and healing to people across Aotearoa New Zealand who are facing illness, trauma, and loss. Through the simple, therapeutic act of beading, we have walked alongside thousands of Kiwis during some of life's most difficult moments — offering a creative space to breathe, process, and find community.

As we celebrate this incredible milestone, we'd love nothing more than to keep going — reaching even more people who need us.

This is where you come in.

Your donation on our 15th birthday will help us continue this meaningful work for another 15 years and beyond. Whether it's $15 to mark our birthday, or whatever you can give, every contribution helps us show up for more New Zealanders when they need it most.

Together, we can ensure that no one has to face their hardest days alone.

Thank you for being part of the CanBead whānau. 💛

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.
