Every little bit really does make a difference
20 February 2022 - Sunrise Foundation
“I don’t even notice the $5 donation coming out of my pay packet each week and there’s the bonus knowing that the Government tops it up an extra $2.50 with a tax benefit. I like that, it’s like a freebie,” says Catherine.
The fact that Sunrise supports local organisations is what really appealed to both Catherine and Mary-Jane and that they were able to decide which fund they supported.
Catherine says, “There are loads of great Special Interest Funds I could have given to, but I decided on the General Fund as I like the idea that Sunrise decides where the money is most needed within the community.”
Through the Workplace Giving scheme Elaine donates weekly to the Cancer Society and Mary-Jane to the Arts Fund as it’s something she enjoys, having been involved in the Gisborne Choral Society since 1982.
Mary-Jane says, “I am impressed with the way Sunrise is managed. I like that the capital is retained and that the funds just keep growing because you’re only using interest and have such a small operating cost.”
Catherine agrees and says, “Knowing you operate on only 1% and the rest of the money is invested is impressive.”
At Sunrise, all donations are invested and protected for the future and every year income is distributed as grants. This means your donation will keep on supporting our community forever.
