Be part of the change,

together, we can create a

fairer future

Whether you donate, fundraise, join as a member, leave a gift in your Will, or host a speaker, your support helps our volunteers and partners thrive.

Choose your way to donate

Your generous donation helps communities across the Pacific and Timor-Leste by supporting skilled VSA volunteers and sustainable development projects. Whether through one-off gifts, monthly contributions, or bequests, your support creates lasting impact and fosters positive change.

Leaving a gift in your will to VSA is a powerful way to make a long-term difference. Your legacy can help future generations of volunteers share their skills, support resilient communities, and create meaningful change long after your lifetime.

Every VSA volunteer contributes more than just their time and skills, many also fundraise to help cover the cost of their assignment. From cake stalls to runathons, they find creative ways to rally support. Some use our Raisely peer-to-peer fundraising platform to share their stories and inspire others to give.

You can make a difference today! Visit a volunteer’s Raisely page, read about their journey, and consider making a donation. Even sharing their story with friends and whānau helps grow the ripple effect of their work.

Feeling inspired? You could start your own fundraiser to spread the word about volunteering opportunities in your community or support one of the key areas VSA is working to transform, from climate change resilience and disaster recovery, to empowering women in business across the Pacific.

If you're keen to raise funds and make an impact, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s work together to build a fairer, stronger future - one community at a time.

Support VSA in ways that go beyond donating. From fundraising in your community to spreading the word online, your time and voice can make a big difference. Join our community of changemakers and help amplify local impact across the region.

Why we need your support

As a registered charity, VSA relies on government partnerships and the generosity of individuals and organisations to keep our work going. Your support helps cover the cost of:


  • Volunteer preparation and pastoral care
  • In-country logistics, accommodation, and health & safety
  • Strengthening long-term partnerships in the region

Whether you donate, join as a member, or leave a gift in your will, you’re investing in a more just, equitable future for the Pacific.
