The most generous region in New Zealand for Givealittle donations has been revealed in a new report, which shows Kiwis gave $31.6 million to fundraisers this financial year.

The report has also highlighted some of the worthy causes that received money this year, including a woman who needed money for overseas cancer treatment, the Relief Aid Gaza Appeal, and a mayoral relief fund for flood-hit Wairoa.

The stories and statistics shared in the report captured a picture of “nationwide giving to nearly every conceivable cause”, Lythan Chapman, CEO of Givealittle said.

“They are a reminder to us all that the generosity of New Zealanders is unflagging, and when people call for help they will be heard.”
