NZ Falcon/Karearea, Stella & Jet Are Coming Home — Help Us Finish Their Sanctuary

Timaru, Canterbury

We’re so close. Stella & Jet are nearly home.

The NZ Raptor Trust’s new falcon breeding facility in Timaru is almost ready — we just need the final push to finish the last critical pieces.

One of only three such facilities in the country, this project has been years in the making thanks to a committed group of volunteers, supporters and local business community who believe in protecting our native raptors.

With major construction complete, we’re down to the final essentials: enclosure fit outs, specialised equipment, and preparing space for future rescued and unreleasable birds.

Your support today helps protect the future of Karearea/NZ falcons. Every donation strengthens this programme and brings Stella & Jet one step closer to settling into their purpose built home and sanctuary.

Let’s finish this together. We are creating something special, a legacy for future generations.

Ways you can help: • Make a donation • Share this campaign with friends and whānau • Support the final fit outs and equipment needed

Support Options:

$20 Give a "Falcon for a Falcon" - NZ Falcons feature on the $20 note

$50 Raptor care supplies

$100 Specialised equipment

$500+ Facility completion & future capacity

Thank you for helping bring Stella & Jet home. Together, we are creating something special, a legacy for future generations.

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.
