We're very excited! 3 January 2023

We are working on a very exciting initiative which will go live in three weeks. As you have previously supported our cause we thought we'd give you a hint that this is about to happen...

We will keep you posted - but most of all, we want you to know how much your support is helping us make a difference for NZ's butterflies and moths.

Wouldn't it be amazing if we once saw our native NZ butterflies thriving, as these beautiful little copper butterflies are in this short video clip.

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.

Thank you so much, Jillian! That is very much appreciated. As well as our usual projects we are working on a plan to address the nuisance of pest wasps at present, so every donation is valued.
