GiveOUT Day 2022

New Zealand wide event of giving to LGBTTQIA+ projects, community groups, and not-for-profit organisations.

The global phenomenon, GiveOUT Day, successfully launched in New Zealand by Rainbow NZ Charitable Trust.

On October 19th 2022, Rainbow New Zealand Charitable Trust (RNZCT) launched the inaugural GiveOUT Day NZ with a Gala at Phoenix Cabaret on Auckland’s iconic K Road. Raising a phenomenal $57,000. All funds are for distribution to the 2022 Participating Charities, and the Trust’s Community Grants and Tertiary Scholarship Programmes.

RNZCT is grateful for the support and endorsement of some very high-profile allies. Their endorsement and assistance with helping spread the message about the inaugural GiveOUT Day was launched at the GiveOUT Gala, hosted by Phoenix Cabaret. The event on the 19th of October, 2022, was a great success! Thank you to everyone who supported the charity auction, sponsored a corperate table or bought an individual ticket to the event!

GiveOUT Day 2022 was made possible by Silver Sponsors Kiwibank and Southern Cross Health Society and Bronze Sponsor PWC, with support from Aurecon and Microsoft. The enthusiastic also include represenatives from GiveOUT Day Participating Charities, Auction Donors, the National Party, and other VIPs including a live streamed message from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
