OUR CHARITY // WAYS TO SUPPORT

Only together can we save lives.

IN PARTNERSHIP

With our community

Only with the support of individuals, families and businesses can the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust provide a dedicated, free-of-charge rescue helicopter service for the Taranaki regional community – today and in the future.

Support Crew & Donations

We believe that when we set out on a mission, it’s not just the pilot and the crew onboard. It’s the individuals, families, and businesses on the ground, who help us save lives in the Taranaki region.

The Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Support Crew is the name of our regular donation programme, and is the force that gets the helicopter off the ground.

Our Support Crew are very special and when you sign up, you'll receive a members-only exclusive lapel badge - that you can choose to pin on whatever you like (jacket, hat, bag).

As a Supporter of our organisation you will receive newsletters twice a year so that you can keep up with the work being done by your rescue helicopter and we encourage our supporters to follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

Donations to a charitable trust, like the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust, qualify for a 33.33% tax rebate. We will provide you with a tax receipt for your donation.

If you have any questions about coming on board as a Support Crew member, please call 0508 4737 283.

Sponsorship

By supporting the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter, your company is ensuring there is a fast, life-saving air rescue service available for our community. In return, we can provide you with a mutually beneficial partnership and work together to achieve mutual business goals.

As a Sponsor you could:

Sponsors one of the Alpine or Marine Teams
Sponsor a Mission

As a Business Supporter you could:

Nominate us as your Charity of the Year
Create an employee fundraising activity
Encourage payroll giving (a tax-efficient way to donate)

Whatever your sponsorship objectives, we look forward to working towards a bespoke solution that caters to your requirements.

Working together we can save lives.

Like to hold an Event?

You don’t have to take part in a scheduled event to raise money for the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter. It’s easy to support us by organising your own activity. Get together with friends, family, work colleagues, club members or school friends. Just decide what you’d like to do and let us know so that we can provide fundraising advice and donation forms to help make your event a success.

Here are just a few ideas we have come up with:

Quiz night
Non-uniform day
Bike rides
Scooter runs
Coffee mornings
Cake Sales
Car washing and car boot sales
Comedy night

The Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust (TRHT) is a charity. The Trust is extremely grateful for all community based fundraising efforts and as such likes to assist where possible and acknowledge those involved appropriately.

Payroll Giving

Donating through your Pay

Setting up a regular donation can be an easy process when using Payroll Giving. Each time you are paid by your employer, your donation will be made directly to the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust.

Payroll giving is administered through the online PAYE tax system, so we recommend checking with your employer to see if they are set up for this.

All donations over $5 qualify for an immediate 33.33% tax rebate each payday. You will not need to wait until the end of the year to claim your tax credit as you will receive it each time your donation is processed with your pay.

Leaving a Legacy

Leaving a legacy in your Will will ensure we can continue this service long into the future.

A gift lift in your Will, at any value, is received with sincere gratitude. Once a bequest is in place we appreciate you telling us so we can personally thank you for your support and plan for the future.

Gift Options:

Residual Gift – After providing for your family, you may nominate a part or all of what is remaining of your estate (the residual) to the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust Percentage – You may leave a nominated percentage or fraction of your estate to the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust

Special Gift – You may choose to leave a set amount of money, real estate, jewellery, shares, bonds or any other gift you wish to nominate.

You may wish to do this confidentially and we can put you in touch directly with our Chairman, Evan Cottam, to discuss.
