Financial Independence Sponsorship Offer
We love to get involved with our community and we consider all sponsorship requests.
To make this work best for you and for us, and so that we can continue to provide funds to many of these community events or teams, we offer the below structure.
Refer yourself, your team, or your friends to us for a no pressure Life, Health
and Disability’ insurance review and with any completed application, we will sponsor 10% of the annual premium to your team or club.
In the past, this has provided $1000’s to teams and groups.

Scouts fundraiser
This group has invited William Pike to speak on June the 6th at the Mount Maunganui Intermediate. William is a sought-after speaker and a role model to youth nationally and internationally. Losing a leg after being trapped in a volcanic eruption on Mt Ruapehu has not changed William’s outlook on life, nor has it stopped him from doing the things that he loves.
He is the director of the popular nationwide youth development programme called the William Pike Challenge Award (WPCA). The programme aims to grow resilient, confident and connected Kiwi kids by encouraging them to embrace new challenges, enjoy the great outdoors, engage with the community and interact with positive role models. Values shared by the Scouting movement. In a fast-paced world driven by technology and change, William believes developing our future generations of New Zealanders is critical.

Cambodia
charitable trust
We were happy to be able to present a cheque to Denise Arnold for the Cambodia Charitable Trust last night. Financial Independence has sponsored 6 girls through their schooling in Cambodia for many years and 3 of those girls are ready to head off for tertiary study, which we are super proud of. The money to help them with this next step was a little higher, so the team had a fundraiser and raised enough to see them through the next year. Thanks to those that joined us for that night, every small amount adds up to a huge amount for these girls. We wish them well and invite you to have a look at the fantastic charity on the following link. What Denise does over there is inspiring.
