Regular giving—whether weekly or monthly—helps provide steady support we can count on. These ongoing gifts, no matter the size, are a big part of what keeps Manawatū MS moving forward.

Keen to make a difference? If your school, business or community group would like to run a fundraiser for Manawatū MS, we’d love to have you on board!
Business Support
Local businesses have a real opportunity to give back by supporting a project or cause through Manawatū MS. It’s a powerful way to help improve life for people in our community living with multiple sclerosis.
Remembrance Gift
Honour a loved one who has passed away by making a gift in their name. A remembrance gift is a lasting way to remember those lost and the causes they were passionate about.
Bequest
Leaving a gift in your will is a powerful way to create a lasting legacy.
An endowed bequest helps support Manawatū MS well into the future, with the income from your gift making a difference for generations to come.
Leaving a Gift in Your Will
A bequest can take many forms, including:
A specific sum of money
A percentage of your estate
The residue of your estate after loved ones have been provided for
Property, shares or other assets
Every gift, no matter the size, helps support the ongoing work of Manawatū Multiple Sclerosis Society in our regional community.
We recommend discussing your wishes with your family Solicitor or Trustee when preparing or updating your Will.
Suggested wording for your Will
To ensure that your money goes to the correct organisation, please make sure that you state Manawatū Multiple Sclerosis Society Incorporated, and our charity number: #CC21737
“I give and bequeath to Manawatū Multiple Sclerosis Society Incorporated, charity number #CC21737 the sum of $_____ (or _____% of my estate, or the residue of my estate, or specific property/assets) to be used for general purposes or a specific project of the Society within the Manawatū region.
The receipt of the authorised officer of the Manawatū Multiple Sclerosis Society Incorporated will be sufficient discharge to my Trustee/Executors, who shall not be required to see to the application of this gift.”
Supporting Our Regional Community
Manawatū Multiple Sclerosis Society is committed to ensuring funds gifted through bequests directly support our regional community.
Your legacy can help continue essential services, support programmes, education, advocacy and community connection for people living with MS and their families throughout the Manawatū region.

A bequest is a deeply meaningful way to support our work into the future.
If you would like to discuss leaving a gift in your Will, we would be happy to speak with you confidentially.
Together, we can have an impact and promote the quality of life for people with MS.
We rely on the generosity of our local community to keep doing what we do. Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference in the lives of people living with MS right here in our region.
One of the most important ways we honor your support is by being open about where donations go. For example:
$50 can help fund a home visit to one of our members living across the district
$100 can provide a month’s worth of one-on-one support for a family navigating life with MS
These are more than just numbers, they represent real help, for real people. We're working on visual tools to show this impact clearly, because we believe donors deserve to see the difference they’re making.
We also offer a range of donation options so you can give in a way that suits you. You can make a one-off contribution, set up a monthly gift to help us plan ahead, or even leave a gift in your will. Some of our supporters also choose to donate in honor of someone they love a gesture that carries deep meaning for many.
Monthly giving is especially powerful. For example, your $10 monthly gift could support someone with MS throughout the year with regular check-ins, connection, and guidance.
However, you choose to give, we’re deeply grateful. It helps us stay by people’s sides, every step of the way.
