Donate
We rely on grants and donations to fund our services because we do not currently receive any funding from the government's Health budget.
Every dollar donated helps us to employ a skeleton part-time team and cover our operational costs.
A one-off or regular donation helps us cover these example costs:
$5 | Posting our newsletter to a client who finds it easier to read a paper copy. |
$17 | Monthly phone plan for one of our staff to call their clients. |
$20 | Reimbursing staff for travel costs to visit one of their clients. |
$40 | Purchasing a new book for our library. |
$60 | Supporting a client to access benefits and other payments from Work and Income. |
$100 | Venue hire and refreshments for one of our group meetings around the region. |
$250 | Initial visit to a client by one of our Nurses, to explore diagnosis and symptom management, and to complete follow up referrals and a management plan. |
$400 | Delivering an education session for health professionals or another organisation. |
$500 | Supporting a student to remain at the Southern Health School for a year. |
$1800 | Rent and utilities for our office for a month. |

Payroll Giving
If you are wanting to make a regular donation, however small, the Payroll Giving facility is available to employees to make a donation through your employer’s payroll system.
Donations made via Payroll Giving receive an immediate PAYE credit of 33% of the donation amount. This avoids the need for charities to generate Donation Tax Receipts and for the donor to collect and submit Donation Tax Receipts to the Inland Revenue Department.
Talk to your employer to enter this scheme, or visit to https://www.ird.govt.nz/roles/employees/payroll-giving-as-an-employee find out more.
You will need these details:
-
Organisation Name with IRD is ‘ME/CFS Canterbury / West Coast Charitable Trust’
-
Charity registration number is CC32072.
-
We have a bank account with Westpac 03-0802-0060232-000
Your employer will pass the donation to us, and let us know it is from Payroll Giving.
Please let us know if you set Payroll Giving up, as we would appreciate the opportunity to say thanks.
