Skydive for Charity

Raise money for a cause you care about, and jump out of a plane!
Tick off a bucket-list dream, support a charity, and do something amazing — all in one leap.

Are you ready to skydive for a cause?

Raise a minimum of $600 for a charity you love, and they’ll hook you up a voucher for our 12,000 ft skydive! It’s the perfect way to tick off that once-in-a-lifetime bucket list goal at NZ’s #1 rated drop zone, while doing serious good.

Choose one of our chosen charities below, from the Cancer Society, to the Heart Foundation to Ronald McDonald House. It might be in honour of someone who’s passed, a cause that’s affected your family, or just something close to your heart.

You’ll need to raise a minimum of $600 to qualify for the voucher, so get cracking! Run a bake sale, a car wash, or just tell all your friends that you’re terrified of heights – we find that makes people open their wallets! We’d love to follow your journey, so tag us @taupotandemskydiving on the socials and we will share them on our Instagram and Facebook accounts to help you hit your goal.

How It Works

1. Pick your charity and set up your fundraising page (we recommend Givealittle)
2. Raise at least $600
3. Donate the entire amount to your charity, and them know you’re skydiving with us!
4. We’ll send out your 12,000 ft skydive voucher
5. Book your jump and make the leap!

FAQs

What if I want to support a different charity?
No problem! Email us and we can ask them if they are happy to take your donation. We love to support new initiatives!

How do I set up my fundraiser page?
Use a platform like Givealittle or GoFundMe to set up your campaign. Tell your story, what charity have you chosen and why? Is the skydive a lifelong dream or your worst fear? People love to get behind a cause and a challenge. You can also link to this page in your fundraiser so everyone knows what you’re doing and why. To make it super easy we have written a blurb that you can copy and paste at the bottom of this page.

What if I raise more than $600?
That’s amazing! All of it goes to your charity. We are hoping that people will raise over $1000!

Can I do the skydive first and raise money later?
Sorry, this offer only applies after you’ve raised and donated the money. You’ve gotta do the mahi before the jumpy!

What happens if I don’t reach $600?
Whatever you raise can still be donated to your chosen charity. But to be eligible for the 12,000 ft skydive voucher, you’ll need to hit $600. If you fall short, you’re welcome to top it up yourself or extend your campaign a little longer.

Can I upgrade to a higher altitude or get camera?
For sure. Just let us know when you arrive and you can pay the difference to go higher or purchase any of our camera packages. Go big or go home!

Why not just give $600 to charity and not skydive?
Absolutely – you can go ahead and do that! But we’ve found that people are way more likely to donate when they know their mate is going to jump out of a plane. It gives your campaign a fun hook and helps you raise even more for your cause.

Hi! I'm raising funds for [insert charity name here] and facing my fears at the same time, by jumping out of a plane!

Taupō Tandem Skydiving have an awesome initiative where if you raise at least $600 for one of their chosen charities, they will send you a voucher for a 12,000 ft skydive. So that's exactly what I'm doing 🪂

[Insert a sentence or two about *why* you chose this charity, has it helped you or someone close to you? Is it a cause close to your heart?]

If you’ve ever wanted to see me scream, now’s your chance, and it’s all for a good cause. Thank you so much for donating and supporting both this amazing charity and my slightly unhinged decision to leap from a perfectly good aircraft.
