Waikato

Thank you to everyone who has supported us to date with donations. We sincerely appreciate you all and are grateful for your contribution to our park and community.

Over the past 2 years, the Whangamata MTB Park has evolved into a network of world class trails with riders from across NZ coming to visit and see what were all about. The dedication from a core group of club volunteers has been amazing and the club continues to go from strength to strength.

We have invested heavily in equipment and people and have appointed Phil Hill as our full time Trail Manager to ensure trails are in mint condition, clear of debris and are safe for all riders. Unfortunately our revenue levels are well below what has been budgeted for and we need ongoing support. Unlike other, more established clubs in other regions, we receive very little in public funds and are heavily reliant on club membership and corporate sponsorship. Our trail quality is at an all time high, but unfortunately our membership levels/ revenue is at an all time low. We get it, its free to ride in other regions, but we simply do not have the backing to enable us to offer a free recreation activity. Hopefully one day this changes and we are financially sustainable, but for now we need everyones support!

We are a dedicated group of volunteers who are committed to providing a world class community asset. If you are able to assist us, we would greatly appreciate your support.

All donations over $500 will get a free 2023 MTB Park Pass and a Whangamata MTB T-Shirt or Hoodie!

Use of funds

The funds donated will be reinvested to refurbish our trail network within the Tairua Forest.

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.
