100+ People Who Care | Dunedin - 21 May 2026 Meeting

The charity to receive the donations from the 21 May 2026 meeting was The Playhouse Theatre!

The Playhouse Theatre is raising over $5 million to restore and refurbish its historic 1876 theatre building, ensuring it remains a warm, safe, accessible, and welcoming space for future generations. In 2025, the Dunedin City Council contributed $3.35 million towards the project, with the remaining funds now being raised through community support. Best known for its beloved Children’s Theatre productions, The Playhouse hopes to continue creating magical theatre experiences for Dunedin families for many years to come. Every donation will help keep this treasured community theatre alive.

Note: You don't have to have attended the meeting or be a member to donate :)

How it works:

Every quarter, members and supporters donate $100 at a fast-paced, one-hour event. Three charities each speak for seven minutes, followed by a short Q&A. Attendees then vote, and the charity with the most votes receives the full combined donation. The two remaining charities each receive $200 as a thank you for taking part. Anyone is welcome to contribute and be part of the impact.
