Our conservation, restoration and education programmes would not be possible without support from passionate individuals like you.

We offer two donation options.

Do you hear that? That chattering in the foliage is the red-crowned kākāriki. Unfortunately, you are one of the lucky ones – most New Zealanders have never seen or heard this bird in the wild as it is critically endangered.

Thanks to the captive breeding programme at Pūkaha, we are happy to report that this beautiful bird is one of several native species that are now being reintroduced into the wild for future generations to see for themselves.

You can play your own part in the conservation story by making a donation to the Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre today. As a registered charity, our birds and the subsequent conservation programmes rely solely on the generosity of the community.

On behalf of every creature at Pūkaha, we thank you for your assistance.

Endowment Fund Donation

Each year, interest earned by the fund makes an essential contribution to our work.

The Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre Endowment Fund was one of the first funds to be established and managed by the Te Awa Community Foundation.

Any contribution you can make to the Fund helps continue our mission to re-create a predator-free natural environment where rare native birds, plants and other wildlife thrive.

All donations to the Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre Endowment Fund are invested wisely in
perpetuity, so your gift remains in the fund forever. Each year the interest earned by the fund
makes an essential contribution to Pūkaha’s valuable work.

This ensures your gift really does keep on giving – year after year.
