Make a donation

For the last decade, the I AM HOPE team have been giving mental health talks in schools and communities up and down Aotearoa. During this time we have engaged with over 300,000 youth and young people. These talks have been delivered free of charge and all costs are covered by the public and generous donors such as yourselves.

Frequently asked questions

What impact will my donation have?

We receive no public funding. Your gift will help us to support our young people. This includes powering us to run and improve our school programmes, train new ambassadors, develop new initiatives, and support the engine holding it all together. We couldn’t do it without you.

How can I get a donation receipt?

If you donate via the Direct Donation option, a receipt can be automatically generated and sent to your email. After you receive the donation successful message, simply click the continue option until you are returned to the I Am Hope website. A popup will then appear requesting you provide your full name (or company name) and an email address where the receipt can be sent. Be careful to enter your email address correctly, and check your spam folder if you don't see it in your inbox. If you still can't find it, drop us a message and we can dig it out for you.

If you make a donation via your online banking, or by directly depositing in a branch, we can also generate a donation receipt for you but the process takes longer. We would need you to provide us with the time, date, amount and any reference used for the transaction, so that we can locate it within the account and generate a manual receipt.

Is I AM HOPE registered with IRD for payroll giving?

Yes, the I Am Hope Foundation is registered with IRD as an approved donee organisation.

As an employer, you can offer payroll giving so that your employees can make donations from their salary or wages to I AM HOPE and/or Gumboot Friday.
Employees who donate can receive the 33% tax benefit as they go (e.g. a $30 donation will reduce their PAYE by $10, and so the actual cost to the employee is only $20).
