How Canary’s donations help Kiwi charities help others

For every breach notice that is paid, Canary gives $50 to its charity partners. As of October 2026 that comes to $134,450. The money goes to organisations already doing practical work in their communities, and they decide how best to use it.

Hato Hone St John

Canary’s funding helped Hato Hone St John renew its Accessibility Tick, which strengthened its connection with the New Zealand Disability Employers Network. That gives it guidance for tracking its progress as an inclusive employer and for supporting people with access needs across its workforce.

Canary’s donations have made it possible for us to renew our Accessibility Tick this year.

Western Community Centre

The funding has paid for affordable bus trips for the centre’s 50+ group, with outings to Raglan, Tauranga and Auckland. It also contributed to Treats in the Park, the centre’s Halloween event, where nearly 2,000 children registered for treats.

Grubby Hands Charitable Trust

In the Ruapehu District, Canary’s contribution helps fund inclusive, locally designed programmes around Raetihi: physical and mental wellbeing, food security and environmental work.

Starship Foundation

Through our relationship with PAK’nSAVE Manukau, Canary is also a partner of the Starship Foundation, supporting clinical care, patient experience and paediatric medical research.

Why it works this way

Canary would rather nobody misused a mobility park in the first place. While some people still do, a share of every paid breach goes back into the community. Meet our community and charity partners.
