Fundraise

Every dollar you raise helps us provide vital support and resources for the 750,000 people in Aotearoa New Zealand living with arthritis. Whether you’re running a marathon, baking cupcakes, cycling across the country, or gaming online, your efforts will directly help people manage pain, stay connected, and live well.

Arthritis affects people of all ages – from tamariki to the elderly. The money you raise helps us provide education, advocacy, and practical tools so whānau can navigate life with arthritis. By fundraising, you’re joining a movement to uplift the wellbeing and mana of people in your community.

You can turn almost any activity into a fundraiser. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Take on a challenge: Walk, run, swim, cycle or hike – and get sponsored for every kilometre you complete
• Host an event: Organise a quiz night, bake sale, garage sale, or morning tea
• Go bold: Shave your head, dye your hair, or wear a costume to work
• Live-stream for a cause: Turn your gaming or creative passion into a donation drive

Set up an online fundraising page through platforms like Givealittle. It takes just a few minutes to create your page, share your story, and start collecting donations. Then share your page on social media, email, or in your community to spread the word.

Tip: Let us know you’re fundraising so we can celebrate your mahi and share your campaign with our community.

If active fundraising isn’t your style, there are other ways to make an impact:

• Make a donation – online or via internet banking.
• Payroll giving – ask your employer about donating directly from your pay
• Leave a gift in your Will – ensure your legacy supports future generations
• Gifts in memory – honour a loved one by requesting donations instead of flowers
