Collective Charities
We’ve partnered with 15 trusted Kiwi-based charities. These are smallish charities doing amazing work, but without the brand exposure of many of the big charities you already know. Choose to support one, some, or all. Tell us how much you want to give and how often. We’ll do the rest. Easy!
Over 700 Collective donors have raised $4,607,319.65 for our partner charities – impacting thousands of lives in Aotearoa and beyond.
We work with small to medium-sized Kiwi-based charities who meet our criteria, believe in our Collective values and meet our commitments. They’re annually reviewed by our board of trustees and receive regular no-strings-attached funding to do their thing. You can see all the partnership criteria here.
We currently aren't accepting new partnership applications, as we are currently in the middle of an application process that recently closed. Charity partnerships will be reviewed every 12 months by our Board of Trustees to ensure partner charities continue to align with the criteria, Collective values, and commitments. We will discuss what goals they would like to focus on during the next 12 months should the partnership be renewed, and how we can best support each other to meet these goals. At this time, our Board of Trustees will review organisational space and whether we have any capacity to take on any new partner charities.

We sure do! To be 100% transparent, we give public access to a spreadsheet which breaks down the donations amounts for every quarter since we launched back in 2012. Check it out here.
One tough thing charities face is irregular donations. We provide our charities with a live dashboard so they can see the donor statistics and forecasted income from OPC. That helps the charities in planning ahead, as to how they can make the most impact with the regular support.
Beyond receiving donations, being part of the Collective is incredibly valuable for our partner charities. So much so, it’s an FAQ that deserves its very own page.
Thanks to a crew of wonderful corporates and private supporters, we pass on 100% of your donations to the charities you choose. We don't take anything – our funding model means we have our own donors to cover our operational costs. Yep that’s right, we have one account for your donations to your charities and one account for running our own charitable trust!
