Your donation helps us provide pro bono and subsidised property advice to churches and not-for-profit organisations who need it most — enabling communities of faith to thrive and serve.
Abide Charitable Trust exists to remove barriers that prevent churches and faith-based organisations from fulfilling their mission. Often those barriers are property-related — an underperforming building, a complex land disposal, a development that feels overwhelming.
Our expertise is expensive in the private market. Your generosity enables us to provide it — at no charge or heavily subsidised — to small congregations, community trusts, and not-for-profits who simply cannot afford professional property advisory fees.
Every dollar donated goes directly to funding our advisory work and enabling us to reach more organisations across New Zealand.
Abide Charitable Trust Board is a registered New Zealand charity and holds Approved Donee Status from Inland Revenue.
This means your donation is tax-deductible — you can claim a tax credit of 33.33 cents for every dollar donated.
A $250 donation funds a full property strategy session for a small church or community trust — helping them understand their options and make confident decisions.
A $500 donation enables a comprehensive property due diligence review for an organisation considering a significant acquisition or disposal.
A $1,000 donation funds several hours of senior-level property and legal advisory time — advice that would cost thousands in the private market.
