Nelson Tasman Monopoly Sales To Support Flood-Hit Small Businesses

Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce commits profits from regional board game to Mayoral Fund for small business recovery

The Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce will donate profits from Nelson Tasman Monopoly game sales to the Tasman Mayoral Fund to support small businesses affected by recent flooding.

The month-long fundraising campaign launches on 25th July and aims to raise money to assist the recovery efforts.

"As a not-for-profit organisation, our ability to raise funds is limited, but the Nelson Tasman Monopoly game gives us a unique opportunity to turn our most accessible product into meaningful community support," said Ali Boswijk, CEO of Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce.

"This regional Monopoly game has wide public appeal and represents our local community perfectly – making it an ideal vehicle to help our fellow businesses get back on their feet after the floods."

The Nelson Tasman Monopoly game features local landmark and businesses making it both a popular gift and a celebration of the region. Profits from games sold through the Chamber website during the campaign period will go directly to the Mayoral Fund's small business recovery initiatives.

The Chamber chose to focus specifically on small business support as these enterprises often face the greatest challenges in recovering from natural disasters, yet form the backbone of the local economy.

"Small businesses are the heart of our community” Boswijk added. "We're calling on our community to support this campaign – every game purchased is a direct investment in our region's economic recovery."

The Nelson Tasman Monopoly game can be purchased online at commerce.org.nz throughout the campaign period, which runs until 24 August 2025.
