Who manages the donations?
Love Queenstown collates these donations before passing them onto the Whakatipu Reforestation Trust. Every $10 donation funds one native tree.
How do I know my money is making a difference?
We receive an annual donation summary from Love Queenstown, which provides details on how the funds were used and the impact we collectively made. This information will also be shared with you via our communication channels.
Can I choose which project my donation supports?
Our donations are directed specifically towards the Wakatipu Reforestation Trust to maximise impact through focused efforts. This ensures that your contribution supports local reforestation and biodiversity initiatives.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
The donations made through our booking process are not tax-deductible for individuals, as they are pooled and managed by our community fund partner. However, they are being put to great use to ensure a sustainable future for our environment.
