Help us help you

Your donation will help Allergy New Zealand support the more than one million New Zealanders, including children and their families, who live with life-altering and sometimes life-threatening allergies.

Allergy New Zealand is a registered New Zealand charity and was started in 1981 by parents of children with allergies. Our vision is to improve the quality of life for people with allergies.

We are a mainly voluntary organisation and dependent on fundraising, membership subscriptions and donations to enable us to help others.

Some of the many comments we have received:

“I cannot stress enough how important it is to feel supported when you have a child who has a life-threatening condition. Allergy New Zealand fulfils this role superbly. A lot of the work of this organisation is done by volunteers and a few paid workers”

“I cannot express enough how important it was to me when my son was first diagnosed with his allergies to receive your information packs and support”

“Thank you Allergy New Zealand for your support which we depended upon greatly whilst our daughter had serious allergies to three foods. In a world where few really know much about serious food allergies, the information and networks you provided for us were much appreciated”

“Allergy New Zealand provides an essential service which would otherwise not be available. We are extremely fortunate in that our child has recently outgrown her life threatening allergies. It would however be no exaggeration to say that the information and support I have received from Allergy New Zealand, enabled her to enjoy a normal life while living with severe allergies and for my extended family to live successfully within the anxiety and constraints those allergies bring”

Payroll giving — a way for your colleagues to help Allergy New Zealand

IRD's rules around donations have changed.

Employees can now donate a portion of their pay to a worthy cause* — like Allergy New Zealand — and get tax credits in return.

This is an easy way for employees to help us in our work and get recognition for their generosity and kindness in very tangible way, through reduced tax. For every dollar they donate they'll receive a third back as a tax credit in the same pay period.

If you think your employers might be open to introducing payroll giving (and they’re likely to be supportive of Allergy New Zealand!) please download more information from here. We have available a poster and other information that you can pass on to your employer. Thanks for helping out!

*Definition of donee organisation: A donee organisation is an organisation that has Inland Revenue donee status. Anyone on the approved list is eligible to receive payroll giving donations.
