Given by 25 generous donors in 12 weeks

Help Manawatū GymSports secure their Forever Home and allow them the security to keep providing a space for everyone to grow.

Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui

Manawatū GymSports (MGI) has a long history of providing Palmerston North with recreational gymnastics for everyone. Over the years we’ve ensured accessibility for the whole community by keeping costs down, a decision that has seen us grow consistently to service over 1,200 children per term across the region as enrolled members and a further 350+ per week of casual users from PlayGym to homeschool to provider groups. In order to continue doing this, we need assistance in securing a forever home and provide us with security for the future.

It is our commitment to inclusivity and community that is the backbone of our club; we've created classes for children with physical and intellectual disabilities/special needs, both in a 1-on-1 and group format. We also offer a class taught entirely in Te Reo, continuing to ensure everyone has a place where they can participate in sport and form connections.

Bring on the MGI Forever Home Project! Behind the scenes the team at Manawatu GymSports has been working hard fundraising and securing funding to finally secure our own place. While we’ve locked in some of this, we need a final push to get us over the line. As such we’ve put together this page to help bring the community with us on this journey.

Use of funds

We are purchasing a building for our gymnastics club. We have secured most of the funding and are raising the remaining amount needed to complete the purchase.

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.
