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.

A NZ scenic treasure that can't be allowed to rot away. The tourism potential alone would keep the line profitable. ( look what Dunedin did ). Let's fight like hell to keep this line!! Cheers
