It’s really hard to give well. Many people have shared this same thought with me over the years as they try to work out where it would be best to place their donations and giving intent, in order to shift the dial on the problems that they see locally.
There’s a real Kiwi drive to make a difference, we see it in our consistently high place on the World Giving Index (though that is slipping) and we hear it in countless giving stories from across the nation. From the Ashburton farmers (two brothers) who have launched local tertiary scholarships, to the Hawke’s Bay family who have started a fund supporting dementia services in honour of their wife and mum, to the Wellington mother who has discovered, through her giving journey, political activism. We see countless journeys of people who are learning how to give well into communities, who really want to make their donations count, and who are discovering something significant about themselves along the way.
