North Haven Hospice receives generous donations from individuals, groups, and organisations across the communities we serve. Without your support, we couldn’t provide the emotional and practical support that helps both people we look after and their caregivers, nor could we reach people at home in isolated areas to provide support and medication.
Grants make up about 1% of our income. We’re grateful to partners like Oxford Sports Trust, Harcourts Foundation, Pub Charity, and others. Some foundations exclude us due to government funding, but every successful application helps.
Our small fundraising team (less than two full-time staff!) generates around 4% of our income through newsletters, our annual Memory Trees,“500 for 5” donors, grants, sponsorships, and general donations.
Did you know? You can claim a tax rebate for any donation over $5!
Your support helps us care for people (at no cost to them) who are homeless, isolated, or without family—giving them dignity, aroha, and peace in their final days.
Set up donations directly from your pay and receive an immediate tax credit—up to a third back each time! Ask your payroll team if this is an option at your workplace.
Bequests made up 4% of donations last year. These gifts—ranging from hundreds to thousands—help us continue our work long after someone’s estate is settled. You can now create a free will online via our donation page.
With over 300 volunteers, our shops are vibrant community hubs. From sorting and pricing to merchandising and customer service, every item donated helps fund our care.
Our four op shops contributed 33% of total funds raised last year! Visit us in:

Business sponsorships make a big impact, though they currently account for less than 4% of donations. Some of our standout supporters include:
We also receive in-kind donations like magazines, flowers, baking, and even proceeds from cattle sales!
Every dollar raised in our community stays in our community. North Haven Hospice was founded by people who wanted to do better—for those dying and those caring for them.
In the words of Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern hospice movement:
“You matter because you are who you are. And you matter until the very last moment of your life.”
At North Haven Hospice, we believe that planning for the future is an act of love, for yourself and for those who care about you. One of the most important steps you can take today to ensure your wishes are met is to set up an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA).
