Give a Little – Together we Give a Lot
On Tuesday 2 December only, New Zealand comes together for Give a Little Day — 24 hours dedicated to generosity.
For this one day only, every dollar you give through Givealittle to a registered charity or school will go entirely to your chosen cause — fee-free.*
All donations made to the six categories below go into the Givealittle Trust Fund, which then distributes the money to registered charities on Givealittle working in that area. Donations are eligible for a 33% tax credit.
You can also donate directly to any charity or school you love on Givealittle. Just type their name into the search box and give through their page.
Total funds raised by these pages: $1,810

If you choose to top up today to cover Givealittle’s fee, that top-up is treated as a donation to Givealittle — we’re a registered charity — and it qualifies for a 33% tax credit on donations over $5.
