Donate in lieu of gifts or flowers

Donations in lieu of gifts or flowers are a special way to honour a loved one, celebrate with purpose, and support a cause close to your heart.

We've made it easy to create a tribute that's meaningful to you, like giving back to a hospital department that's cared for you or someone you love.

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or farewelling a loved one who has passed away, by requesting donations from those who might otherwise give you presents or flowers or food, your generous gesture and your friends' kindness will support your chosen area of Auckland City Hospital or its greatest needs.

You can make a lasting impact at a precious moment in time.

Honouring the life of a loved one? Invite donations in their memory, in lieu of receiving flowers.

Birthday or Christmas coming up? Invite friends and family to donate to your chosen cause, in lieu of receiving presents for yourself.

Tying the knot or marking an anniversary? Consider making a donation on behalf of your guests, in lieu of giving party favours.

Feeling grateful for the care that you or a loved one received? Take on a challenge to support the hospital department, team, or ward that touched your life, and invite your networks to sponsor you.

Any occasion can be an opportunity to support the life-changing work at Auckland City Hospital – transforming your special time into a moment that makes a lasting difference.

It's easy to create a fundraising page online.

Your generosity will benefit others, far and wide.

Perhaps the Stroke Ward, Cancer Department, or Cardiovascular Services have made an impact on you or your loved one. Our supporters who choose to give back to these incredible teams, instead of receiving gifts or flowers for themselves, often tell us how rewarding it feels.

By giving back in this selfless way, you will also make an impact – helping future patients, families, and our dedicated hospital teams.

Auckland City Hospital provides critical care and specialist services to Kiwis nationwide, so you know your generosity will make a difference that matters, for people everywhere.

Be part of something bigger, and help make things better; our hospital teams are always so grateful for this type of support, from people like you whose compassion shines through.
