Fundraising for Dugdale Charitable Trust

Hello Wholesome Homies!

We are the Home Sweet Homies - a local six piece rock/pop band from Nelson NZ!

For those who don't know us, we are an independent band passionate about creating fun original music that brings messages of hope to whoever needs it. Here is an example from our latest album: https://youtu.be/M5VrRLfVPbc

We are fundraising because........

We have been given the awesome opportunity to perform at one of NZ's music festivals this year - FESTIVAL ONE!

This festival is the biggest music opportunity that we have been given so far, so we’re very honoured to be asked to take part in it!

We are so excited about going, but are based in Nelson (the festival is in Hamilton) so we are fundraising to cover our travel and accomodation costs. Any extra funds would also go towards the cost of our next EP which we are in the midst of making and are very excited to share with you next year!

We are so thankful to everyone who has supported and shared our music over the years, we love you all and are grateful for every person!

We would be so honoured if you would financially partner with us to make this trip a possibility.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Love from the Homies:)

Joy Gutschlag's involvement (page creator)

Home Sweet Homies is working with the Dugdale Charitable Trust

All funds raised will go towards travel and accommodation costs ($5,000). Any excess funds will go towards costs for our next EP (music videos, recording and marketing costs).

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.
