THERE ARE A VARIETY OF WAYS YOU CAN HELP 

 How are our programmes funded?
The programme is funded by a combination of central government funding and fundraising through grants, events and philanthropy. Currently the government (Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health and Oranga Tamariki/Ministry of Social Development) funds 76% of the $2.5 million it takes to run the Centre annually. ​This leaves a shortfall of approximately $600K to fund through fundraising efforts. 
Donate today:
  • Help Support a Child. If you’d like to contribute to a particular part of our programme, such as our internationally acclaimed Music Therapy programme, the Technology Supported Learning programme, the Family Support programme, Hydrotherapy or Feeding Programmes. ​Donate online now or contact Grants and Funding Co-ordinator karon.storr@championcentre.org.nz
  • Make a Donation/ Make a Difference. A one-off donation of any amount big or small will have a ripple effect in the Champion Centre community (every gift over $5 is tax deductible). Donate online now or directly to or direct into our bank account.
  • Regular Giving: Most of our family’s journey with us is until they transition to school, which can be up to 6 years. Joining our community of regular givers, you contribute to ensuring these children have the best start and a brighter future. It’s easy to set up ‘Regular Giving’ for our Centre children either donate online or contact us.
  • Purchase a Julie Wylie CD or DVD. If you purchase one from the Champion Centre, Julie donates $5.00 from every sale to the Centre. Contact us for more information.

Talk to our fundraising co-ordinator, karon.storr@championcentre.org.nz on how you could support in the following ways:
  • Payroll Giving: You can ‘give as you earn’, a simple way to donate to a cause close to your heart. Donations are given from your pay, so it comes straight to us, is regular and allows us to plan for the future. You also get the tax rebate from your charitable donation back immediately. 
  • Donate the Difference: Be the difference in a child’s life today. With a $7000 shortfall for each Centre child, every year, we are challenged with raising this difference through community funding. Choosing to make a $7000 donation means one child’s early intervention programmes are covered for one whole year. Download the Donate the Difference Brochure to find out more.
  • ​Fundraising Events: Want to host a fundraiser?  From sausage sizzles, sponsored runs to gala dinners, if you, your organisation or your club would love to select the Champion Centre as the beneficiary of an event, we can provide brochures, banners and speakers to support your efforts through social media. 
  • Legacy Giving: It’s a way of giving that costs you nothing in your lifetime – but a gift that makes a lasting difference in the lives of our vulnerable children. Help build a brighter future for our young Cantabrians and leave a gift that keeps on giving, as your legacy for generations to come.​

Please spread the word! Although we have been providing support to families for decades, there are still many people who do not know what we do.  By increasing our visibility, this makes our fundraising that much easier. We would also love to come and speak at your event; whether it's a work, social or community group, we are more than happy to come and share our story. 
​
Contribute to the Champion Foundation Trust: 
We believe that every child, regardless of their ability, has the fundamental right to access the resources and support required to enable them to realise their full potential; physically, mentally and socially.

Capital Fundraising helps to provide sustainability to enable our young Champions to flourish! Income from this fund will allow the Centre to plan for moderate growth and long-term sustainability. This fund is managed prudently, with capital maintained, and interest used to supplement the operational funding of the core business operations of the Champion Centre. 

If you are considering making a major gift that will have a significant impact, please visit the the Champion Foundation Trust or contact:
Foundation Administrator, Steph Burdon: championfoundationtrust@gmail.com
