I am lucky enough to speak to people in the Greenpeace community who remember the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior in 1985. I wasn&#8217;t born at the time of the bombing, but I&#8217;m told of how it shook not only Greenpeace activists but the whole country. <\/p>\n\n<p>The event lives in the memory of New Zealanders as a stark reminder of the callousness of the pursuit of power. The importance governments and corporations place on short-term financial gain at the detriment of everything and everyone else.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Funding freedom: Why Greenpeace rejects corporate and Government money<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Greenpeace is proud to never accept money from governments or corporations. This independence enables us to hold the powerful accountable for their actions and drive positive change for the planet. That is only possible because of people like you. Greenpeace&#8217;s work in Aotearoa New Zealand and worldwide is funded by individuals who share our vision of a biodiverse, unpolluted, protected land and ocean.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The power of monthly donations: Funding the fight for a greener future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>I have worked for Greenpeace Aotearoa for over four years now. I am humbled and inspired daily by the forethought and generosity of the thousands of Greenpeace supporters who passionately believe future generations deserve to inherit an earth with clean water, clean air and clean food. Through you, the planet has a voice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>You can already be proud of the victories we have achieved for the planet. After the bombing of the <em>Rainbow Warrior<\/em>, the death of Fernando Pereira, and two further years of public campaigning, New Zealand declared itself nuclear-free. In 2018, a ban on all new oil and gas exploration permits was achieved in New Zealand waters. Again and again, we continue to stand up to giant corporations and world governments against the odds for the good of Aotearoa and the planet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/03\/eb208f18-gp04gyl-1024x672.jpg\" title=\"Greenpeace crew and members of Te Whanau a Apanui (Maori group) celebrate the withdrawal of oil giant Petrobras which had planned to drill for deep sea oil off Whangaparaoa, East Cape.

A massive 74% of Greenpeace funding comes from thousands of people giving regular monthly donations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Funding comes from regular direct debit donations from incredible people who give what they can each month. Incredible people who spare what they can to support the planet. This type of consistent support is the backbone of the Greenpeace movement. Without it, we wouldn&#8217;t exist, let alone be able to achieve the kind of victories we can all be so proud to have accomplished over the last five decades.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leaving a legacy: Bequests and the gift of lasting impact<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1406\" height=\"912\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/04\/fd1a16c2-legacy-booklet.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/04\/fd1a16c2-legacy-booklet.png 1406w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/04\/fd1a16c2-legacy-booklet-600x389.png 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/04\/fd1a16c2-legacy-booklet-1024x664.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/04\/fd1a16c2-legacy-booklet-768x498.png 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/04\/fd1a16c2-legacy-booklet-510x331.png 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1406px) 100vw, 1406px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>After regular donations, gifts left in Wills are the highest contributor to campaign funding. Leaving a gift to charity in your will makes up a significant amount of Greenpeace Aotearoa&#8217;s funding. That percentage from bequests is growing each year as supporters take the opportunity to create a legacy with a lasting impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Often, with this incredible type of gift, people decide to dedicate their legacy to a specific campaign that is close to their heart. Whether that&#8217;s continuing to fight climate change through challenging New Zealand&#8217;s most polluting industries in the hope that future generations can swim in the lakes and rivers of Aotearoa. Protecting the oceans by opposing destructive practices such as bottom trawling and deep sea mining or working to eliminate plastic pollution and end the throwaway, single-use culture. The decision is to create a better future for the planet and those who inherit it from us.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>One-off gifts for urgent action: Amplifying your voice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>About 4% of Greenpeace Aotearoa&#8217;s funding comes from donations from our wonderful supporters towards specific campaigns. To complement vital monthly contributions, this type of one-off gift is often made at critical times in campaigns, such as preparation for the Global Oceans Treaty. <\/p>\n\n<p>In the lead-up to the Treaty, you may have seen a lot of Greenpeace Aotearoa on billboards, TV, mainstream and social media, drawing public attention to the negotiations and the issues at stake. There needed to be people in that room to represent you, me and the planet. Thanks to those financial gifts, all that was made possible, and we could celebrate a historic victory for the Oceans and the earth.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/02\/c9945d25-gp1swwdu_pressmedia-1024x682.jpg\" title=\"Pictured is a digital billboard playing a video of Greenpeace supporters making a plea for strong action to protect the oceans.\" alt=\"Pictured is a digital billboard playing a video of Greenpeace supporters making a plea for strong action to protect the oceans.\n\" class=\"wp-image-62293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/02\/c9945d25-gp1swwdu_pressmedia-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/02\/c9945d25-gp1swwdu_pressmedia-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/02\/c9945d25-gp1swwdu_pressmedia-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/02\/c9945d25-gp1swwdu_pressmedia-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/02\/c9945d25-gp1swwdu_pressmedia-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/02\/c9945d25-gp1swwdu_pressmedia-510x340.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Greenpeace Aotearoa volunteers during petition activity calling for the NZ Govt to support a strong Global Oceans Treaty at the UN in March 2022. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>Just over 3% of funding for Greenpeace Aoteraoa&#8217;s campaigns comes from one-off gifts.
