How can you support Sustainable Hawke's Bay

Here at Sustainable Hawke's Bay we're focused on creating impact, be it reducing waste, restoring our biodiversity or create healthier, more connect communities. But creating genuine impact doesn't come cheap.

Sustainable Hawke’s Bay is supported by an incredible network of givers, from our invaluable Hawke’s Bay Guardians, to one-off donors that pay for the cost of their recycling, to corporate partners, and project funders.

But just as the cost-of-living crisis hits households, it hits charities too, and community support is more critical now than ever before.

We understand that not everybody is in a position to donate, and that is okay. Many of our services remain free to ensure they are accessible to all, but what we ask for those that are able, to consider if you are able to contribute to ensure that we can continue creating impact for generations to come.
