Foster Hope

There are over 6,000 children in foster care in NZ. Are you aware that many of these foster children arrive at their new placements with NOTHING but the clothes on their backs, or with their belongings in a black rubbish sack. Let’s change this!


As Paul Spear Shane said “as one person I cannot change the world, but I can change the world of one person”.


A Powerful Way to Help Foster Hope – at no cost to you

Foster Hope has partnered with Community Power to launch our most powerful fundraising initiative, where you can help us without spending a cent!

Here’s how it works

 

We all have to buy our electricity from somewhere right? Well now when you buy it from Community Power you get to donate a share of the profits they make from your account to Foster Hope.

You pay the same rates you pay now, or less, so it won’t cost you a cent.

And the best part is your donation is ongoing, its not just a one-off.

Make the Switch, it’s easy and free!

Click here    Request Quote    to request a quote to see how much your donation would be and if there are any savings for you as well.

It only takes a couple of minutes. If you like what Comunity Power has to offer, just say “yes please switch me to Community Power”, and they’ll do the rest. It really is this easy.

How you receive and use your electricity won’t change, only now you will be contributing to funding Foster Hope whenever you use electricity in your home or business. Yes, we can create funding for from business accounts too!

Frequently asked questions and answers:

  • I currently receive a prompt payment discount, will I still receive this? Yes
  • I receive a network company dividend, will I still receive this? Yes. The network dividend comes to you from the Network company regardless of which retailer you are with.
  • Will my power be interrupted if I switch to you? No, your electricity is never disconnected when switching between retailers.
  • Isn’t switching really hard? No, once you say “Yes please switch me” we’ll do the rest. All you need to do is provide us with a few details to set up your account.
  • Where do you get your electricity from, do you burn coal? Great question! We are very fortunate that in New Zealand, approx 85% of our electricity is generated from renewable sources including Hydro, Geothermal and Wind. Transpower manages the national grid and purchases electricity from the generators throughout the country according to the demand from consumers and the availability of water throughout New Zealand’s Hydro storage system.

When Hydro storage is low other forms of generation are brought on stream to meet the demand to keep the lights on. Retailers don’t manage the source of electricity generation and nor can we guarantee to you where the electricity you use is generated from. What retailers can say is that most of the electricity you will use comes from renewable sources, its the same for all retailers.
