Case Study: Kia Kotahi Ako advances education and climate impact with Open Collective

Kia Kotahi Ako - Customer Case Study

Kia Kotahi Ako is an educational collaboration in Aotearoa New Zealand, established to tackle the climate crisis and an inequitable education system. The initiative needed a way to build validity, raise funds internationally, and manage admin efficiently in its early stages. They turned to Open Collective and its platform to address their fundraising and operational challenges.

Using Open Collective provided Kia Kotahi Ako with an immediate, credible platform for donations, automating the generation of tax-compliant receipts for donors in New Zealand and the US. This partnership with Open Collective enabled them to raise initial funding efficiently and begin work on three key education and environmental projects, including pilot programs that are already receiving positive feedback and catalysing impact.
