At Nelson Tasman Hospice, we believe in a world where people don’t have to face death alone, afraid, and in pain, and those closest to them aren’t left grieving without support.
Join our incredible community of regular givers and commit to caring for those in our community.
Why regular giving matters
Your donation provides us with certainty of care in the future, and means our services can continue to be provided at no charge to patients and their families. Plus, your regular donation will:
- Help us to provide excellent palliative care for more than 770 people with life-limiting illnesses in our region, every year.
- Support our patients’ families, whānau and carers with bereavement counselling and workshops.
- Ensure our community palliative care nursing team can be there when families need them most: in people’s homes, in aged care facilities and Nelson Hospital.
- Enable our care to reach far beyond Nelson Tasman Hospice: to educate and support medical professionals in best practice palliative care across the region.
Benefits of joining the Kōwhai Club
As a valued member of the Kōwhai Club:
- You will become a valued member of our Nelson Tasman Hospice community and will be invited to special events and occasions.
- We will update you on our progress with regular newsletters, and you will receive a copy of our Annual Report, updating you on our yearly performance.
- You will receive a tax receipt at the end of the financial year, so you can claim a tax rebate of 33% of your total donation.
- Together we will deliver excellence in care to anyone facing a life-limiting illness and to their families/whānau.
