Sophia Dean's involvement (page creator)

I am involved because it deeply saddens me that I get to go home to a warm, insulated house with food available to me, when there is people out there who are laying in the cold with nothing more than the clothes on their back. They are human beings with feelings and emotions who are treated differently just because they do not have a house to go to.

I am involved because that person you see on the streets, could have been any one of us.

I am involved because I care, please help me make this world a better place for everyone regardless of social status.

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.
