Pub Charity
supports communities all over New Zealand, limited only by
local council gambling policies and gambling legislation.
National through to grass root level local organisations are
able to reach their objectives and benefit the people they
serve through a simple, transparent, efficient, timely,
non-political and independent funding process making Pub
Charity a funder of choice for many organisations. Thanks to
our venue operators, Pub Charity is able to make a huge
difference to a wide range of local causes by returning
millions of dollars back to communities where we operate.
Community groups interested in learning more about Pub
Charity can visit www.pubcharity.org.nz or pick up an
application for a donation form from their local Pub Charity
venue. Complete the form and send it, together with the
required documents, to Pub Charity, PO Box 27 009,
Wellington so it reaches us by November
13th, 5pm to be included in our next
round.
