One Extraordinary Artist

Unbelievable – together we've raised $47,000 in just seven days (including a phenomenal $10k gift!) – pushing us well over the halfway mark. With 66% of our $250,000 goal raised, the momentum is real – and it’s all hands on deck to get us to the finish line!

We’ve been blown away by the generosity pouring in from so many of you (including our GM Jessica Palalagi’s mum and dad – icons!) – THANK YOU for stepping up for NZ's outstanding young artists. We see all your donations coming in – rest assured there have been resounding cheers around the office every time!

But we’re not done yet…

We still have a way to go (gulp) to reach our ambitious $250,000 target before 20 October. Remember every donation – big or small – is doubled thanks to our five incredible match-funders.

This is our chance to give more outstanding young artists a $25,000 Springboard Award – backing them at a pivotal moment with funding, mentorship and a bit of breathing room to take risks. We’ve already secured 5 Springboard Awards for 2026 – now let’s get to 10!
