Support the crew

We’re Aotearoa New Zealand’s primary maritime search and rescue organisation. We’re also a charity, powered by volunteers, and we rely on the generosity of everyday people to support the lifesaving work we do, on and off the water. You can give your time in a rewarding role as a volunteer, or make a financial contribution through a donation or buying lottery tickets. The government funds 34% of our operation, but the rest needs to come from public contributions. There are lots of ways you can help, so find out more below.
