Question 1

How do I search for a specific charity?

Accepted Answer

Use the search box at the top of the page to search by charity name or registration number. You can also use filters to narrow results by sector, rating grade, region, or specific criteria like government funding percentage.

Question 2

What do the letter grades mean?

Accepted Answer

Letter grades range from A+ (excellent) to F (poor) and represent our overall assessment of a charity. A+ to A- charities demonstrate strong financial management, good governance, and transparency. B grades are solid performers. C grades are average. D and F grades indicate significant concerns that donors should investigate.

Question 3

Why might a charity not have a rating?

Accepted Answer

Some charities may not have a rating if they have not yet filed sufficient financial data, are newly registered, or if their annual returns are incomplete or unavailable. We can only rate charities based on publicly available data from the Charities Register.

Question 4

What sectors do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We cover all registered New Zealand charities across every sector including Health, Education, Social Services, Religion, Arts & Culture, Sports & Recreation, Environment, Animal Welfare, International Aid, and more. Use the sector filter to browse charities in specific areas.
