Operation Zian is a New Zealand registered charity, with our charitable work focused on supporting vulnerable children and families overseas, particularly in the Philippines and Pakistan.

Under New Zealand's Income Tax Act 2007, charities must generally apply at least 75% of their funds towards charitable purposes within New Zealand to qualify for ordinary donation tax-credit eligibility.

As Operation Zian directs its donations towards overseas charitable work, donations to our organisation are not currently eligible for New Zealand donation tax credits.

We believe in being upfront with our supporters about this.

How Donations Are Received

Donations are accepted by bank transfer into Operation Zian's New Zealand bank account. Funds are then transferred to our teams in the Philippines and Pakistan to support our child protection programmes, community outreaches, food assistance, and other essential charitable activities.

Our commitment is to ensure that donations are responsibly managed, transparently accounted for, and used to make a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable children.

While donations may not qualify for a tax credit, every contribution helps us continue our mission of protecting children and bringing hope to communities in need.
