Love Queenstown provides an opportunity for our industry to come together, leave a legacy we can be proud of, and inspire change the world over
We’re here to make it easy for our business community to give back and be part of the collective effort to protect and regenerate our rohe (region) – ensuring the impact of your giving goes further for your business and the environment at the heart of our home.
Check out partnership options below or donate directly here.
Donate to support local environmental action in the Queenstown-Lakes, protecting the place you love now and for the generations to come.
Ready to level up your commitment to local environmental action? Sign up to donate 1% of your business’ annual proceeds as a Love Queenstown Impact Partner, maximising the impact of your giving on the environment and your business.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
Impact Partners donate 1% of their proceeds (calculated as 1% of “EBIT”) to Love Queenstown each year. These funds are pooled for collective impact, before being on-allocated to local charitable organisations via our Annual Impact Grants.
20% of everything we raise is invested in a local endowment fund. This fund will grow over time, enabling long-term, substantial funding opportunities to support this work long into the future. You can pay annually or in automated monthly instalments (and yes, your donations are eligible for charitable tax benefit!).
Large businesses can opt to make a single donation of $10,000 or more per year to join the Impact Partner Programme.
PARTNER PERKS
Love Queenstown Impact Partners are first on the list for Love Queenstown’s annual events and volunteer opportunities; are recognised in our Annual Impact Reports and key marketing channels; receive custom supporter assets; and get special voting rights in our Annual Impact Grant rounds. Be one of Love Queenstown’s first Impact Partners and receive the additional accolade as a member of the Love Queenstown Founding 50, solidifying your reputation as a business who goes above and beyond for our environment.
