The Lifesavers Foundation purpose is to ensure Surf Life Saving has the monetary resources and public support required to adequately and effectively deliver the services expected of it. The Foundation strives to engage New Zealanders, businesses and other community oriented organisations to fundraise and donate in support of the volunteer surf life savers who already give generously of their own time and money to ensure the safety of others. The Foundation’s philosophy is that New Zealand’s volunteer lifeguards do a fantastic job of keeping our beaches safe, and they shouldn’t be burdened with having to also fundraise to purchase, maintain and operate patrol and rescue equipment and clubhouses and meet the myriad of other expenses associated with delivering whats regarded as New Zealand’s fourth emergency service. Led by a team of civic-minded trustees connected deeply in to their communities as well as business and social networks, The Lifesavers Foundation is intent on being New Zealand’s #1 charity in the search and rescue sector. Because this is what New Zealand’s #1 volunteer based community rescue service deserves! We will achieve this by pursuing a whole-of-community approach to fundraising and charitable giving; being at the forefront of fundraising practices, technology and campaigns; partnering with great organisations; and ensuring that our support flows directly to the clubs and volunteers that actually do the great work on our beaches to keep New Zealanders and visitors safe.
