Greater need for Geyser

Geyser is one of the few funders who support organisati­ons with general operating funds, helping to keep the lights on so that staff can focus on delivering much needed services.

-

At a recent series of roundtable­s, more than 30 charities and community groups servicing the Rotorua and Taupo District communitie­s met collective­ly to share the year’s challenges and successes along with how Geyser’s funding has helped sustain their operations.

Geyser is pretty unique in that we get our charities in one room around the table. Community leaders are able to collaborat­e and make key connection­s they wouldn’t ordinarily make, helping drive efficienci­es but most of all, reinvigora­ting that face-to-face social connection.

Challenges raised include attracting volunteers and being able to access funding.

You can help out by making a donation of any size to the Rotorua Community Fund or the Taupo Community Fund here: www.geysercf.org.nz/donate/

Your gift will help us to help out more.
