Fundraising for Make-A-Wish New Zealand

Nationwide

Kia Ora,

My name is Shawn Mahoney and I am from the United States. I’ve hiked over 16,000 km and over 300,000 meters of elevation raising money for charities. My goal is to hike Te Araraoa trail carrying the log to raise money for Make-A-Wish New Zealand. To keep it short (because it’s a long story) look up Larry the Log to see the fundraising I’ve done and the articles that have been written about me.

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.
