Fundraising helps build a more inclusive Aotearoa

When you fundraise during Sign for Change, you help support the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Foundation’s wider work in accessibility and inclusion.

Funds raised help us continue initiatives that build awareness, improve access, support inclusive communication, and help Deaf and hard of hearing New Zealanders participate more fully in everyday life.

Your fundraiser is more than a donation page. It is a practical way to show that NZSL matters, inclusion matters, and small actions can help create more welcoming communities.

If fundraising isn't for you, you can support others in their fundraising journey.
