Friends of Monte

Over the years, New Zealanders have approached the Trust seeking ways to support its mission of housing justice. In 1992, the Trust established the ‘Friends of Monte’ to provide an opportunity for others to make a contribution to our mission.

We are deeply grateful for the ongoing commitment and goodwill of over 700 ‘Friends of Monte’ living in different parts of the country. A large number of our ‘Friends’ have maintained contact over many years. ‘Friends of Monte’ support the Trust through one off donations (including bequests or major gifts) or regular financial contributions (such as monthly direct credit payments or annual Christmas gifts) or by donating household goods, which the Trust can pass on to families seeking our assistance.

If you are interested in becoming a ‘Friend of Monte’ please email Elaine at housing@montececilia.org.nz
