Step Up Foundation

“StepUP Foundation is a non-profit organisation which exists to educate and excite teenagers about the possibilities for their futures in business and in life. We do that by bringing high profile, inspirational, entrepreneurs, sporting heroes and other leaders together with teens over a unique 2 day seminar, held throughout New Zealand in 3 locations annually. This year stepUP is expecting 6000 teens to go through the program with a mentoring program being developed as well.

DonateNZ has been tremendous in connecting us with a Donor who kindly gave us office furniture for our new space. We wouldn’t have been able to fill the office without the generous donations off the website. Not only have the DonateNZ team connected us with companies who can support us I have found the DonateNZ team to be dynamite in suggesting who else and what else to do.

For me the values which are aligned between stepUP Foundation and DonateNZ are fantastic as they get our vision of wanting our young people to be the best.

As a charity we don’t want to be sinking our cash flow into office furniture but into the teens and the people who make this all happen. With the support of DonateNZ and their connections we can really get on with the game of making a difference.
