As a community charity, Cranford Hospice depends on individuals, businesses, trusts and community organisations to help make our care possible through donations, sponsorship, grants, gifts in kind, volunteering and fundraising.
Support us
Their support helps us provide specialist palliative care and bereavement support, free of charge, to Hawke’s Bay families when they need it most.
Together, our supporters help ensure compassionate hospice care remains accessible to our community, now and into the future.
Trusts, grants and foundations
The support of charitable trusts and grant funders plays a vital role in helping us sustain and grow our services.
Their investment helps fund patient care, specialist equipment, community programmes and the ongoing development of our services.
We are proud to acknowledge the organisations who partner with us in this way.
We value recognising and celebrating our business partners, with opportunities for acknowledgement across our website, social media, events and community communications.
Business partnerships
Partnering with Cranford Hospice is a meaningful way for businesses to give back to the local community while engaging staff, customers and stakeholders in a shared purpose.
Whether through sponsorship, fundraising, payroll giving, gifts in kind or choosing Cranford Hospice as your charity partner, we can work with you to create a partnership that is rewarding, impactful and aligned with your business goals.
Event sponsorship
Throughout the year, Cranford Hospice runs a range of fundraising events that rely on the support of local businesses. Sponsoring an event helps cover costs, meaning more funds can go directly towards patient care.
Payroll giving
Payroll giving makes it easy for employees to support Cranford Hospice through regular donations directly from their pay. Making donations this way reduces their PAYE.
Matched giving
Matched giving is a great way for businesses to encourage employee fundraising by matching donations dollar for dollar. It’s a powerful way to increase impact while building team engagement.
Gifts in kind
Donations of goods or services can make a big difference. Whether it’s products for raffles and auctions, professional services, or surplus stock for our retail stores, gifts in kind help reduce costs and raise valuable funds.
Customer giving
Invite your customers to support Cranford Hospice by donating at the point of sale, rounding up purchases, or by displaying one of our collection boxes at checkout. It’s a simple way to involve your wider community in supporting local hospice care.
Major gifts
Major gifts can help fund important projects, equipment, or areas of care that make a significant difference to patients and whānau. We work closely with donors to ensure their support has meaningful and lasting impact.
Pro bono/services
Sharing your professional skills or services can be just as valuable as a financial donation. From legal and accounting support to maintenance, marketing or specialist advice, pro bono support helps strengthen our work and reduce operational costs.
Corporate volunteering
Corporate volunteering is a practical and rewarding way for teams to support Cranford Hospice while strengthening workplace culture and connection.
From helping in our stores and gardens to supporting events and special projects, corporate volunteering offers practical ways to make a real difference in our community.
