Help keep Karamea history alive by supporting Karamea Centennial Museum.

West Coast

We are seeking donations for the ongoing development of the Karamea Centennial Museum. Our intention is to upgrade the entrance with new doors to create a welcoming space, and revitalise our displays. We are preparing to celebrate Karamea's 150th Birthday in 2024, and would like the Museum to reflect our continuing commitment to preserving the history of Karamea for future generations.

Our small Museum is volunteer-led and relies on the generous support of visitors and donors to keep us afloat.

As you come into the museum you are met with a showcase of our local history,which includes social history, photographs, geology, Dairy and Sawmilling industries.We have extensive archival records used by many to retrace their family history.

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.
