How is Dear Community funded?

Dear Community is a non-profit organisation dedicated to serving our community and making a positive impact. Our funding model involves a donation fee that attendees pay in order to attend events. 

 Your ticket sale is directed towards funding the event first and foremost, and secondly to support the Dear Community charity.

Wondering where the ticket sale goes?

Dear Community also has many overheads, as with any charity. These include, but are not limited to lawyer fees, accounting, website, paying for our leaders to attend events, advertising, contractors and salaries. Your ticket sale also go towards funding our initiatives such as 'Nominate A Mate."

When you purchase a ticket you're not just attending an event—you're enabling Dear Community to extend its reach to women in smaller cities. Your support is crucial for Dear Community's expansion into more cities, ensuring that communities in need receive the support they deserve.

Excitingly, Dear Community aspires to launch in Australia, a venture made possible through your unwavering support and financial assistance.

Investing into the future

Each event that you attend, you are investing into the future of Dear Community. You are investing into the growth of an organisation that can reach more people, to expand its resources so that more girls across the world can experience the powerful impact of a community. Our mission is to host events in every major city across this world, but this will not happen without your help and support.

Non profit organisations in New Zealand

Let us share some important information about non-profit organisations in New Zealand. These organisations are established with a clear purpose of benefiting the community and are guided by certain principles and guidelines.They rely on various funding sources to sustain their operations and cover expenses. They are legally obligated to show proof that they are not making a profit, so rest assured this is not happening with Dear Community. 

Non-profits can receive financial support through grants from government agencies, foundations, and private donors who believe in their cause. Currently Dear Community is not funded through these, hence relying on donation support from attendees.

To ensure transparency and accountability, non-profits have a responsibility to manage their finances efficiently. They allocate their funds to cover essential expenses like staff salaries, program costs, and administrative needs. It's common for non-profits to have a diverse funding portfolio, combining different revenue streams to create stability and sustainability.

In addition to financial resources, non-profits also greatly rely on the dedication of volunteers who generously offer their time, skills, and expertise. Volunteers play a crucial role in advancing the organisation's mission and reducing operational costs.

By understanding the guidelines and funding aspects of non-profits, we can better appreciate the immense amount of work that it takes to run Dear Community. 

Your contribution, whether it's financial or through volunteering, can truly make a difference and help them continue their valuable work for the betterment of our community.

Support an organisation like Dear Community helps us to spread the word, that life doesn't have to be done alone.
