Why give?

  • Your donation helps fund outdoor and adventurous activities proven to strengthen both mental health and physical fitness among those who have served.

  • Donations allow us to deliver skill-based programs that empower veterans to develop new capabilities and confidence outside of military life.

  • By donating, you help create regular events that foster strong community bonds, tackling isolation and building meaningful support networks for our service people.

  • Your contribution ensures that support is available to any eligible service member, even if they are not yet a member of SSAANZ, extending our reach to where it is most needed.

  • Every event we run is structured around measurable outcomes: Foundations, Skillset, and Community — your donation directly drives these high-impact, veteran-designed programs.

  • Supporting SSAANZ is a tangible way to honour those who have served New Zealand, ensuring they have access to the camaraderie, purpose, and support they deserve.

“SSAANZ has been a lifeline for me. Their monthly events keep me connected to others who have walked the same path, and the impact on my mental health has been hugely positive.”
