Coastguard New Zealand

Mayday Rescue Appeal 2017

$0 raised

This May, we’re asking you to help train our Coastguard volunteer heroes. Get fundraising, have some fun and save lives at sea!

Nationwide

Sign up for a bake sale, do a sponsored walk or run, auction off some gear and donate the proceeds, or come up with your own fundraiser!

This May we are looking to raise $100,000 to train our awesome volunteers. The funds will contribute to the cost of providing on-water and classroom-based training for 2,200 Coastguard volunteers.

This year’s theme is ‘Going the Extra Mile’ – recognising that our volunteers are doing something that many of us would never dream of when they’re called out to save lives at sea. They dedicate a huge amount of their own time and will stop at nothing to bring people home safely.

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.
