Central to our support for the community is our policy that we aim to distribute 95% of donation funds directly back into the communities where they were raised. This means that Pub Charity venues are directly supporting their local communities through the gaming machines they have in their venues.

Net proceeds from the operation of gaming machines at Air Rescue Services Ltd's member venues are returned in the form of grants to charitable and community organisations in the Canterbury, West Coast, Otago and Marlborough regions of New Zealand. The company’s primary funding objective is to support rescue helicopter services in the Canterbury, West Coast, Otago and Marlborough regions.

The Lion Foundation’s purpose is to help good causes all around New Zealand. We grant millions of dollars every year to a huge range of clubs, charities and community groups from large to small, in areas as diverse as health, education, sports, arts and culture.

NZ Community Trust is New Zealand’s biggest funder of amateur sport. Every year they give millions of dollars in grants to thousands of applicants from a huge range of sporting groups – from rugby and netball to kayaking and lawn bowls. Whether it’s a school group or adult team, a national sports body or elite competitor, NZCT help New Zealanders of all ages and abilities to take part in just about every imaginable sporting code.
