Teddy Foundation

Teddy Foundation

Raising funds to help families access maternity care, trusted pregnancy information, and practical support during pregnancy.

Otago

In many parts of New Zealand, hospitals and specialist maternity services can be a long way from home. Distance, cost, and limited local services can make it harder for families to find the information, support, and care they need during pregnancy.

The Teddy Foundation exists to help remove those barriers.

We support whānau by improving access to trusted pregnancy information, connecting families with specialist maternity services, and helping them navigate accommodation, travel support, and local care options.

Through practical support, partnerships with health and community organisations, and our online pregnancy directory, we help parents find the services they need.

Our goal is simple: to strengthen maternity care and help give every baby in Aotearoa the best possible start in life.

Your support helps us continue building solutions that improve access, coordination, and outcomes for families across New Zealand.

More about us

Our vision is that every child, regardless of where they live in Aotearoa New Zealand, enters the world with the best possible chance of survival and wellbeing, supported by fair access to timely and essential health care.

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.
