Join our Queenstown community of women making meaningful local impact.
Becoming a supporter of Impact100 Whakatipu is about more than making a donation. It’s about joining a community of women who care deeply about this place and believe in the power of giving together. By pooling our contributions, we’re able to fund bold, transformational projects that create real change across our region.
Why join Impact100 Whakatipu?
Connect meaningfully
Connect with a diverse group of thoughtful, generous women who value shared purpose and local impact.
Fill your cup
Attend curated events throughout the year designed to inform, inspire, and deepen understanding of the needs within our community.
Feel Good Giving
Be part of a collective giving model that allows your contribution to go further creating outcomes that wouldn’t be possible alone.
We recognise that $1,000 is a “stop and think” gift.
For many supporters, this contribution represents intentional budgeting and a conscious choice to prioritise community impact. That’s by design.
Impact100 Whakatipu is built on the idea that when each supporter feels genuinely invested in their giving, the collective impact becomes transformational - both for the organisations funded and for the women involved.
If a $1,000 contribution isn’t currently within reach, our Impactships offer an alternative pathway into the Impact100 Whakatipu community.

Some frequently asked questions:
You can be as involved or not as you choose. For some supporters simply making the $1000 donation is enough, and others join committees, and help out with grants, events and being Ambassadors for Impact100. Its entirely up to you.
$1000 means you are making a commitment to giving. It also means we can make a major impactful grant to our community.
Breaking it down:
- Because 33% of your $1000 donation is tax deductable, in real terms it is $666
- Per month it works out at $83 before tax rebate is claimed, and $55 after tax rebate.
Supporter payments open in November each year, and payments can be spread over the five months between November and April 30. We don't mind how you do this, as long as the balance is paid by 30th April.
We also offer Impactships where women from the community are invited to apply for a scholarship for the year.
Yes! If you are a NZ Tax Resident you can claim 33% of your $1000 donation. You should receive an invoice from our parent charity 45South Community Foundation with all the information you need to make your claim.
You can claim 33% of the $1000 donation, but any additional funds you contribute to administration funding is not eligible for a tax rebate as it is an administration charge. Your receipt will reflect this.
100% of your $1000 donation is pooled together and passed on to local charities. We are a volunteer run organisation, although we do have costs such as printing, web hosting, hiring equipment like sound systems for events and accounting to cover. This is why we ask for additional contribution to cover these costs. You can contribute $100 or more to cover these costs. This is an optional payment and we do appreciate those who contribute to cover our costs.
