Growing rural communities together

Since 2011, Cash for Communities has raised over $820,000 for charities, schools and community organisations throughout New Zealand. The programme has enjoyed strong support from farmers, growers and contractors during the last 13 years and we’ve seen communities come together to raise money for their chosen causes.
