Te Kauri Lodge roof replacement

$10,380 of $10,000 goal
Given by 55 generous donors in around 6 months

Te Kauri Lodge was built by volunteers and has been enjoyed by thousands of visitors - now she needs our help!

Waikato

The dining/lounge roof at Te Kauri Lodge is in dire need of replacement - at a total quoted cost of approximately $31k. The Club is $10k short of this and we are hoping past Junats, friends and family can help with the remainder.

Te Kauri Lodge, only an hour from Hamilton is the gateway to 1,100ha of native bush, 500 year-old kauri, stunning karst landscapes, wetlands and wild life, providing an outdoor experience that is hard to beat!

Te Kauri Lodge, owned and managed by the Hamilton Junior Naturalist Club (Inc), is available for hire all year round. It is available to schools, youth groups, adult groups and organisations, orienteering and tramping clubs, who have an interest in natural history, environmental education, and enjoy New Zealand bush.

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.
