Fundraising calendar

New Zealand Red Cross people facilitate and organise a wide range of fundraising events. We’ll keep this page updated with key dates in our fundraising calendar.

Types of fundraising events

Some events are nationwide and are organised by our Community Fundraising team. For example, our annual appeal is held in March every year.

Some of our regional events have become a fixture in the New Zealand Red Cross calendar. For example, our popular book fairs delivered by our wonderful volunteers. Sometimes events are hosted by other organisations. For example, we register a team every year in the Wellington Dragon Boating Festival.

Many fundraising events happen in your local community. For example, our amazing volunteers spend many hours sizzling sausages at your nearest Bunnings Warehouse.

Information about the calendar

This page doesn’t have every single New Zealand Red Cross fundraising event.

We have over 8,000 volunteers in over 52 locations around New Zealand. We simply couldn’t keep up with their awesome mahi fast enough to update this page. We advertise many of local fundraising events on social media or in local news.

This page doesn’t include ideas for seasonal fundraising. For ways you can support Red Cross shops during Christmas and other seasonal fundraising tips see our fundraising ideas page.
