How does it work?
For a donation of $500 or a sponsorship payment of $500 + GST you get to be part of an exclusive group that receives the following benefits:
As the Club is an IRD approved donee you will be entitled to a cash donation rebate (up to 1/3rd back on the donation amount)
The Sponsorship option is a legitimate business expense and thus you will be entitled to a tax deduction and as we will provide a tax invoice the GST component will also be deductible.
Entry in raffle draw to win Match Day Sponsorship for Men’s and Women’s home games – 15 Games available. This allows you or your business as Match Day sponsor to obtain full page coverage in our Match Day Programme; Ground announcements and agreed ground activations

Prominent signage will be displayed in the Clubhouse with that signage also to be used as backdrop for any Club videos that are posted via social media channels
The creation of a mini portal where Club members can go to find business and services that they may require and that you offer – Club members helping Club members

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.2% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.6% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.2% ... It is complicated
