Raising money to help become a volunteer fire fighter

Fun fact: Firefighters have to be mostly clean shaven in order for their oxygen masks to seal around their face and keep out the smoke and other dangerous gasses they encounter on the job.

As a recent volunteer recruit I will need to shave off my beloved beard, so I thought why not raise some money at the same time!

Use of funds

My fire fighting expenses e.g. training, PPE, equipment

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.
