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
August 7th, 5pm to be included in our next
round.
