Volunteering your time
We
are a small Foundation with big hearts and with hundreds of children,
patients and families to support. From time to time, when we hold events
for our families or other fundraisers, we require manpower to help us
achieve our goals. If you'd like to try something new and rewarding and
be part of our Foundation family, email us and we'd love to have you along to help at our next event! Email us at info@idfnz.org.nz.
Donated Goods and Services
We
welcome support in all shapes and sizes! We are constantly supporting
families who are going through challenging and stressful times, often
spending long periods away from the comforts of their own home and with
limited income, with parents needing to give up work to ensure full time
care for their children. We would welcome any toys, clothing and books
in new condition that we can pass on to our families and we know they
will be greatly received. We also welcome donations in any other shape
and forms that we can pass on to help make the lives of our families
easier. If you have more ideas about goods and services you could
donate, please email us at info@idfnz.org.nz.
Wishlist Givers - 'Friends of IDFNZ'
These
are a network of supporters, many of whom have sponsored the Foundation
since it was started in 1989. Their loyal support is greatly
appreciated and we ensure they are kept up to date with all our
activities. By becoming a wishlist giver, you have chosen to help us by
contributing specifically to an item on our wishlist. Some of these are
big ticket items, but every cent helps and there are always plenty of
non-monetary ways to support us. Contact us at info@idfnz.org.nz to enquire about our current wishlist to explore ways of helping.
Annual Appeal
The
KIDS Foundation holds an Annual Appeal every year that forms the backbone of our annual fundraising. We choose to do this by hosting a series of Charity Shows developed for family entertainment and offered free to thousands of disabled and disadvantaged children and their caregivers - in center's across New Zealand. The profits from the shows go towards continuing our National and Regional support programs, our core work with families. Find out more...
Gifts for a Difference
You can also assist us by purchasing a range of items from our online shop.
Grants
The Foundation is also grateful for support gained through grants from various community funds and Trusts.
