NZ Communities $3,8M better off

Martin Cheer, CEO of PUB CHARITY announced today “Arthritis NZ, Life Education, Canterbury Charity Hospital, Karapiro Rowing, Autism NZ, Auckland Children’s Xmas Parade Trust, Northland Athletics & Gymnastics Stadium Trust each contribute to New Zealand community economic and social growth in their own way and this month each have been awarded a significant donation supporting their great charitable work. Every month, except December, donations are awarded. Pub Charity has distributed 2295 donations amounting to $14,735,359 so far this financial year to communities throughout New Zealand.”

Significant donations awarded this month include:

Sectors of the Community where funds have been distributed in January 2012:

1. Donations Distributed by Sector May 2012 2. Donations Distributed by Sector YTD
As a Charitable Trust itself, Pub Charity supports communities all over New Zealand enabling organisations to reach their objectives and benefit the community they serve. Thanks to our venue operators raising funds through operating our gaming machines, Pub Charity is able to make a huge difference to a wide range of local causes by returning millions of dollars to New Zealand communities.
If you know of a charitable organisation requiring funding assistance to reach their ambitions, get them to apply for a donation by picking up an application form from their local Pub Charity hotel/tavern or download one from www.pubcharity.org.nz. Complete the form and send it, together with the required documents, to Pub Charity, PO Box 27 009, Wellington so it reaches us by January 10th, 5pm to be included in our January round.
