Whilst our events are essentially self-funding and the majority of our delivery is donated by skilled volunteers, the organisation has operational expenses to cover. These include training, community development and development of new programmes, along with three paid positions at our Takaka office. We currently employ two event coordinators and programme managers, one for the girls' and one for the boys' programmes and a part-time financial manager.

As a charitable organisation, we welcome any financial support, however small and are hugely appreciative of all our donors.

The Rites of Passage Foundation is a Registered Charitable Trust, so you're donations are TAX deductable. Our Charities Registration Number is CC48562

REGULAR DONATIONS

In addition to applying for Government & Philanthropic Grants, we have been looking for different ways of funding our organisation. Over the past years, we've build up a pool of supporters from within the Rites of Passage Community, which supports us by regular monthly, fortnightly or weekly donations.

A Big Thank You to all the supporters who've helped us with their monthly pledges over the years. Your generosity continues to make a huge difference!

So if you value the work we are doing and can spare a little (or a lot), we'd invite you to consider setting up an automatic payment. One off donations are always welcome too of course.
