That’s a wrap on The twelve days of giving campaign!
Yesterday saw a “wrap” on the 12 Days of Giving campaign, a collaboration between Philanthropy New Zealand and the Department of Internal Affairs. Through a series of videos shared on social media, the campaign showcased examples of effective philanthropic activities by individuals, business, government and the community.

The 12 Days of Christmas campaign showcased that there are many ways to give (whether it be through money, time, skills or sharing connections) and encouraged people to take the time to understand how best to do this. Philanthropy is contagious.
Along with our team at Philanthropy New Zealand, it took all of us to make this campaign happen. It truly will take all of us working together to see a healthier, brighter futures for all New Zealanders too.
