Donations to Rape Crisis Dunedin
Rape Crisis is in need of ongoing support from our community. Most of us care about preventing sexual violence but find it hard to have time or ways in helping the promotion of this cause. You can make a difference in your community in several ways:
You may donate online:
Or your donation can be posted to;
P.O Box 5424,
Dunedin
We receive regular pledges from members in our community with a weekly or monthly deposit from their bank account to ours. This is simple to set up with your bank. All you need is our bank account number which we can e-mail you. With this kind of donation you will receive an annual receipt, which is tax deductible. If you would like to know more about please phone the office on (03) 474-1592.
People in our community also bequest money to Rape Crisis in their wills leaving their mark and influence with this kind gesture and helping us educate and eliminate sexual violence in our society.
All donations over $5 are tax deductable.
