Participating in Toss the Boss Ōtepoti 2026 Event Page

Dunedin, Otago

We're proud to be raising funds to support Otago Polyfest 2026 to place Māori and Pasifika cultures centre stage.

Otago Polyfest is a celebration of language, culture and identity. It’s a high-energy festival showcasing the rich heritage of our Māori and Te Moananui a Kiwa communities across Otago.

Each September, 9,000+ tamariki and rakatahi perform on the Polyfest stage for five days – with more than 15,000 people watching in person and 51,000 across the world watching online in 2025!

Otago Polyfest is one of the longest running festivals in Aotearoa, and the biggest performance event in the region and the school year. From the gorgeous chaos of wee ones at early childhood services to the skill and mana of our high school students, there’s nothing like Polyfest to build pride and confidence across generations.

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.
