Donate
The best way to donate to EkeRua ReBicycle is via our GiveaLittle page.
Be aware, a small part of your donation will go to covering their fees and it can take up to 50 days to process payments. However, GiveaLittle will automatically give you a receipt for tax purposes – this helps cut down on our administration time, which means we can get back to the tools!
Alternatively, you can make a donation directly to our bank account:
Account name: RE-BICYCLE CHARITABLE TRUST
Account number: 38-9018-0109320-00
Email info@rebicycle.nz with your details if you would like a receipt. We are a registered charity.
What your donation supports
Your donation will help to complete the bike ‘package’ with much needed extras to keep our recipients riding safely on well-maintained bikes.
$10 provides a family with a pump, or puncture kit.
$20 is the cost of parts for an average bike repair (not including the volunteers’ time).
$50 provides someone with all the accessories they need to get going: a helmet, lock and lights.
$100 will cover the cost of replacement parts for a whole family's bikes.
$550 p/a or $46p/m takes you to top tier "whanau donor" status - this helps to cover our coordinator or mechanics time.
We aim to cover running costs through grants, sponsorship and funding or volunteer-power where possible, meaning your donations can go straight back to the people and whānau we support. However, when needed, your donation may be used to cover other expenses (operating costs such as petrol, storage, insurance, coordinator/mechanics time when needed, etc). Please tell us if you would like your donation spent on anything specific.
We occasionally sell donated bikes to raise funds for parts and to cover other costs. Particularly if the bike is “retro” (these are quite popular amongst Wellington hipsters but can be very time consuming and expensive for us to fix) or an excellent condition sports bike (road bikes with drop handlebars or full suspension mountain bikes). Please contact us if you have any questions about this.
