What We Do
At Kiwis Together, our mission is straightforward: we provide essential funding for medical healthcare, treatments, surgeries, equipment, and alternative therapies that are otherwise unfunded and inaccessible.
With just $1 a week from each of you, we can transform the lives of countless Kiwis in need.
Imagine the impact: 1 million Kiwis donating $1 a week.
This collective effort can alleviate the burden of individual fundraising and ensure immediate access to life-saving and life-changing treatments.
But we can't do it without your help and the support of people and businesses across Aotearoa.
The Power of One Dollar
Our Commitment
We believe that every Kiwi should have immediate access to necessary medical treatment without the need to first raise the funds. Our premise is simple – one dollar a week from each Kiwi to support those in need. If you require assistance, simply apply to our foundation. Upon approval, we will fund your needs with the collective support of Kiwis across NZ.
Our core values are clear: we are committed to giving back as much as possible. Our administration costs are kept to a bare minimum. As a small team working from home, we strive to keep third-party fees low, learning to do as much as we can ourselves. This means no flashy uniforms, exorbitant salaries, or high commercial rents.
We respect your privacy and will never knock on your door, spam your emails, or bucket collect from you. You won't find annoying pop-ups on our website, nor will we ever 'sell' anything to you. This is our pledge to you.
