Dragon’s Den for giving: The live event where charities sell themselves to donors
There are 27,800 registered charities in New Zealand. 10×10 Philanthropy offers a helping hand to the ones that can create the most impact.
Roughly seven years ago, when Lee Nicolson was driving her daughter home from hospital after a ski accident, her phone rang.
“I believe you’re coming home from hospital today?” a woman on the other end said. “Would you mind telling me what time you might be home?”
Nicholson said she’d be home in 15 minutes. “I’ll see you in 30,” came the reply.
Just as Nicolson was lifting her daughter out of the car and onto the sofa, a woman arrived with a luxurious gift basket bulging at the seams with goodies. Nicolson and her daughter had been anonymously nominated to receive a gift basket from charity Baskets of Blessing.
