As a Charitable Trust itself, Pub Charity supports communities all over New Zealand enabling organisations to reach their objectives and benefit the community they serve. Thanks to our venue operators raising funds through operating our gaming machines, Pub Charity is able to make a huge difference to a wide range of local causes by returning millions of dollars to New Zealand communities.

If you know of a charitable organisation requiring funding assistance to reach their ambitions, get them to apply for a donation by picking up an application form from their local Pub Charity hotel/tavern or download one from www.pubcharity.org.nz. Complete the form and send it, together with the required documents, to Pub Charity, PO Box 27 009, Wellington so it reaches us by January 10th, 5pm to be included in our January round.

• Pub Charity distributes donations monthly (except December). The detailed list of donations awarded over November 2011 is attached, subtotalled by Local Authority Regions.
• Pub Charity financial year ends 30 September.
