Plant a seed

With your support Dunedin Pride can flourish into a sustainable community organisation.

He Kākano, the seeds of Dunedin Pride 🌱

Seed partners of our organisation make an ongoing committment to the mahi we do. By donating $100 each month, every seed partner of Dunedin Pride puts resource into our kete, enabling us to do all the things we do for our local takatāpui and rainbow whānau.

Where does your money go?

We are proud to say that this year Dunedin Pride events have had over 3,000 attendances. That's pretty big for our wee city!

Delivering this has taken over 3,000 hours of volunteer mahi, in-front-of and behind the scenes. As a volunteer-run community organisation we depend on the kind support of others to back our mahi.

In case you forgot what Dunedin Pride does, here's some of the things we get up to:

• Dunedin Pride Month Festival
• Pride Nights (👏 every 👏 single 👏 month!)
• Dunedin Pride Youth Ball
• Open Book group
  
• Netball Club
• Rainbow Pharmacy Clinic
• Bringing community to Hui Takatāpui
• Lots of behind the scenes mahi to support our community 
• Plus more!

Your donations go straight to delivering these initiatives.

If you'd rather pay on a weekly basis, here's the facility to support us pro rata at $23 per week. It's the equivalent of $100 per month, broken down.

Our garden will grow

As more and more seeds are planted in our garden, our capabilities increase. Here is a road map of what we will be able to do.

10 seeds

Basic operating costs are covered. Our website, software systems and other bills get paid.

20 seeds

Pride Nights are funded, meaning our monthly community events have the security to become a long-standing institution.

30 seeds

Dunedin Pride's clubs are funded. You know about the Open Book Club. What about Exercise Club, Makeup Club and more.

120 seeds

We get a building! Dunedin Pride will have a physical base of operations, easing pressure on our committee members and giving us the chance to rocket into a new level of service for the community.

170 seeds

People get paid! We'll be able to have permanent, part-time staff. No longer will we be exclusively volunteer-run.

220 seeds

More staff. Having a paid team is really important for building a strong support system within our oganisation.

330 seeds

At this milestone we can have a physical base of operations in Dunedin city, with all our costs and services paid for, and a team of part time staff with at least one full time staff member. This milestone is huge. This is the point where we have the capacity for our staff to be paid to both run our services, and manage ongoing funding. We can build sustainable funding in other channels as our organisation and our service base continues to grow.

Become a seed of Dunedin Pride right here. Your committment to us immediately enables us to do more and more for the takatāpui and LGBTQIA+ communities of Ōtepoti, Dunedin.
