New Dawn Foundation

New Dawn Foundation helps people affected by trauma access evidence-based mental health care, restoring hope for a new beginning.

Auckland

Every day in Aotearoa New Zealand, people live with the lasting effects of trauma — not because help does not exist, but because it is out of reach. Long wait times, high costs, and systemic barriers mean many are left struggling without access to the evidence-based care they need to heal.

New Dawn Foundation exists to change that.

By funding timely, trauma-informed treatment, we help people move from survival to recovery — restoring safety, dignity, and hope. Your donation directly supports access to proven trauma therapies for those who would otherwise go without, creating real and lasting change in their lives.

Together, we can help turn trauma into recovery — and recovery into a new beginning.

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.
