Wakatipu Search & Rescue Sub Committee

Maintaining our operational commitment is expensive. We require ongoing funding to ensure we are able to assist those in need.

Otago

Wakatipu Land Search and Rescue provides trained and equipped search and rescue volunteers in the Queenstown and Wakatipu area.

Our volunteers are available 24 hours a day, every day of the year to assist those who are missing, lost, stranded or injured in the Wakatipu region. With the increase in tourism in the region, we have become one of the busier search and rescue groups in New Zealand.

In order to remain operationally capable, the group must continually train. Our equipment requires maintenance and replacement.

Funding is required to support our training and equipment needs.

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.
