Be a part of an evening of Inspiration & Impact
We’re inviting you to become a culture shifter. E Tū Tangata would love you to join us on a mission to eliminate Tall Poppy Syndrome in Aotearoa — a culture that too often cuts down those who dare to stand tall. We believe every New Zealander deserves to thrive without fear of judgment, envy or ridicule. To recognise a person’s intrinsic worth and realise the unique contribution each individual can make to our collective success is the mindset we wish to inspire.
Our Fundraising Dinner is a chance to come together, hear about the impact that E Tū Tāngata is having, and give you the opportunity to partner with our work in schools, workplaces, and communities across the country.
Why Attend?
Come to be inspired; hear firsthand from co-founders Jay and Nicky Geldard and their special guests as they share how E Tū Tāngata is positively changing the culture of New Zealand.
Opportunities to Support – you can be a part of the cultural change! Whether it’s financially, forming a partnership with us, or simply by spreading the word, every bit of support helps. We’re inviting you to be part of a significant culture shift in Aotearoa. Together we can make a noticeable difference!
Your Support Makes a Difference
Every dollar raised will:
Allow us to respond to requests from schools. Help us respond to the growing demand from schools across New Zealand, ensuring that we can continue to provide tailored support and resources to foster positive cultural change.
Build capacity. Your support will enable us to build the capacity of our team and infrastructure.
Enhance our online platform. We are a decentralised organisation; our online resource kete provides schools and companies with accessible, high-quality resources. Developing this platform will allow us to further support positive culture growth.
