A special request. 

Many families find solace in knowing that their loved one’s passing can impact the lives of others in the community.

By requesting donations in lieu of flowers, you can contribute to our work of providing care, comfort, and support to those in need.

Inform your funeral director of your preference, and they will take care of the necessary arrangements.

Or, if you prefer to manage this process yourself, we can assist by providing a donation box. Contact fundraising@hospice.co.nz or please call (09) 640 0250

  • Payroll Giving gives employees the opportunity to donate money to a registered non-profit organisation through their pay.
  • Firstly, check with your employer that they can support Payroll Giving – Once set up, your employer will take care of donating for you and organise your donation directly through your pay.
  • Making donations directly through Payroll Giving to Tōtara Hospice is simple for employees, and eliminates the need to keep receipts to make tax rebate claims each year. You will receive your tax rebate straight away as your PAYE is reduced accordingly, and your full donation will continue to Make Hospice Happen.
  • Payroll giving is a low cost and easy way for employers to support staff who wish to donate to charity, by making it easy for employees to give back to their community. Some workplaces offer encouragement to their staff to donate to charitable organisations by matching their donations dollar for dollar, so ask your employer if this is something they would consider.
