Activity Fee

In addition to the Support Fee families are invited to make a donation to Home Schooling NZ called, an Activity Fee.

The Activity Fee raises valuable funds that enable Home Schooling NZ to cover rising costs without raising the Support Fee.

The benefits of this structure are:

· Parents can contribute as “God has prospered them”

   (I Corinthians 16:2)

· The Activity Fee can be claimed as part of the annual

   donation rebate.

· Everyone will be able to give “cheerfully and not under

  compulsion”. (II Corinthians 9 :6-7)

Families can make a donation as large or small as they like, there is no obligation or follow up.

If families choose not to make a donation this will not affect our services to them in any way.

Each newsletter we will include a donation form where you can prayerfully consider the level of donation that is appropriate to your family.
