    We are thrilled to announce that applications are opening on Monday 19th June for the second round of funding for the Pivotal Point Pledge, thanks to your incredible support. This initiative aims to provide crucial funding to whānau of neurodivergent tamariki within the Whakatipu Basin, enabling them to access vital assessments and therapies.

    Your generosity has made it possible for us to make a significant impact in the lives of these families, ensuring that they have the resources they need to support their neurodivergent children. The first round of funding was a resounding success, helping numerous whānau access essential services and interventions that are positively transformed their lives.

    Now, as we embark on the second round, we are excited to extend our reach and help even more families in need. We are inviting qualified whānau to submit their applications for funding, providing them with the opportunity to access the assessments and therapies that can make a pivotal difference in their children's lives.

    Thank you once again for your unwavering support and generosity. Without donors like you, this initiative would not be possible. Together, we can continue to make a meaningful impact on the lives of neurodivergent children and their families within the Whakatipu Basin.

    With heartfelt gratitude,

    The Pivotal Point Team.

    Thank you for supporting the Pivotal Point Generosity Generator Campaign in September. This was a fundraiser for our Pivotal Point Pledge, raising funds to enable neurodivergent children and their whanau to access support.

    We are now excited to share that we have launched our first round of Pivotal Point Pledge grants applications. We would like to thank you and all our amazing supporters and donors who have made this possible.

    The Pivotal Point Pledge aims to provide financial support to enable neurodivergent children to access specialist assessments, support and therapies that can help them thrive. We welcome applications from parents and caregivers of children aged between 5 - 17 years of age living in the Whakatipu Basin and who have accessed and completed the Pivotal Point Navigation Service.

    Thanks to your generous support we currently have funding to offer two grant rounds and have a goal to fundraise and offer a grant round every three months. If you are interested in learning more about this and how you can support then please be in touch. Further information can be found at: pivotalpoint.org.nz

    Thank you for helping us support neurodivergent children to thrive!

    A quick update from the Pivotal Point team...we are thrilled to share that - thanks to your support - we have reached our Generosity Generator fundraising goal of $15,000!!!

    We are blown away by your generosity, everyone who has donated, shared our message, and given us encouraging words - THANK YOU.

    Our ability to support the estimated 1 in 5 neurodivergent children in the Whakatipu Basin is only possible because of our amazing community. Your support means the world to us and we are so very grateful.

    With just 4 1/2 days to go in the Generosity Generator campaign, we would like to see if we can help even more neurodivergent children in the Whakatipu Basin. We're excited to share we are extending our fundraising goal to $20,000.

    Thank you to everyone who has helped so far and all those that are considering supporting our goal - we appreciate it all so very much.
