Fundraise

Help people with coeliac disease to lead better lives.

Through your support and fundraising, we can ensure that we continue to support and advocate for individuals with coeliac disease.

Coeliac New Zealand relies on the support of people like you, through donations and fundraising, to help us enhance the lives of those in the community who are restricted by gluten, whether through coeliac disease or other gluten related disorders.

We are currently the only charity in NZ supporting kiwis with Coeliac Disease. There are many ways that you can get involved and help to fundraise for CNZ. Coeliac Awareness Week each June is a great time to fundraise, but you can obviously do this at any time. Be inspired by some of our brilliant fundraising ideas, or come up with your own unique concept – no matter how small or large the contribution, every little bit helps!

FUNDRAISING IDEAS
