LET'S RECALIBRATE ARTS FUNDING - With you at the helm!
Creative arts education in Aotearoa is under pressure. Government support has quietly shifted, leaving fewer resources for emerging talent and the educators who inspire them.
Here’s the good news: You can make a direct difference—and get 33% back in your pocket.
When you donate to AoJO (a registered donee organisation), you’re not just giving. You’re redirecting your tax dollars into the arts.
Donate $100 — AoJO receives it all, but you get $33 back. (Magic)
Any donation over $5 qualifies for a 33% rebate. Every dollar helps counterbalance the creative funding gap.
