With myriad global crises unfolding, we need urgent climate action and community solutions more than ever. However, in the current funding climate, resourcing for projects like Kaicycle is becoming more and more scarce.
Our small but dedicated team of part-time staff rely on the generosity of small and large donations, bequests and grants to keep our māra running - growing nutritious food for those in need in the community, donating compost to community growing projects, advocating for a sustainable and resilient local food system, educating young and old on growing food in ways that is good for the whenua, and providing a hopeful vision for the future. We operate as a not-for-profit enterprise with our food scrap collection services generating income to support our composting mahi. However, we are still reliant on external funding, and generous community members like yourselves, to keep our urban farm, education programmes, and community engagement happening.
We need your support to continue our mahi & vision to regenerate Wellington!
