It is nice to see so many businesses forgoing traditional corporate gifts for clients and staff and making a donation to charity instead.

So, I’m supposed to talk about my favourite stuff at Givealittle…. hmm where to start.
There has been so many great causes and fundraisers, not to mention non-profit organisations, come on board at Givealittle that I struggle to pick a fave.
For me it is pretty impossible to choose one, five or ten so I thought I’d [...]

What a whirlwind the last week was for Otis Frizzell. After a delivery malfunction Otis completed the 8 x 2m work at Te Papa in a speedy four days. In fact he finished just in time to have a well earned beer before catching a flight back to Auckland.

Today the media presented a picture that fuels Givealittle’s mission: to drive down the cost of money for charity, and to provide donors with simple and transparent tools to assist engagement with charitable causes.
This was not new information. It was not even classified or commercially sensitive. The media has used information that has been available [...]

The feature article in the New Zealand Listener “Something’s got to give” by Mary Jane Boland looks at the ways the recession is impacting the charitable and community sector in New Zealand.
