FAQs

Thank you for taking on the role of group organiser. Our work wouldn't be possible without your hard work and dedication!

There are two easy options for banking your group's fundraising:  

  1. Transfer all funds raised directly into the World Vision 40 Hour Challenge account number: 06-0101-0323407-02 by 30th July 2023 (end of term 2). Don’t forget to include your unique reference number (this can be found on the front of your Deposit Book) or school, church or team name so we can track your fundraising.  
  2. Alternatively, use your World Vision 40 Hour Challenge Deposit Book to bank your team’s cash and cheque donations at any ANZ branch by 30th June 2023. Please ensure the bank includes your unique reference number (this can be found on the front of your Deposit Book) so we can track your fundraising.

If you've lost your World Vision 40 Hour Challenge Deposit book you can order another one by emailing your full name, team name and address to books@worldvision.org.nz.

All banked cash donations will appear on your online fundraising page once processed, approximately 3-4 days after banking. Make sure everyone knows the fundraising can’t make a difference if their donations are not returned.

Please return or destroy your completed Sponsorship Books and Organiser Record Sheet. To return these, please send to World Vision using the postage-paid sticker provided - Freepost Challenge, World Vision New Zealand, Private Bag 92078, Victoria Street West, Auckland 1142. To destroy your books, please dispose of them in a secure recycling bin. 

If sponsors have donated online directly to you on your fundraising page, their donation will appear immediately (if you can’t see a recent donation, try refreshing your page after 10 minutes).

If you are fundraising for the World Vision 40 Hour Challenge with your school, church or team:

  • If you've collected any cash or cheque donations, give them to your World Vision 40 Hour Challenge organiser, along with your Sponsorship Book and they will bank the money for you along with the rest of your team’s. This will show up on your team’s fundraising total online! These donations will appear approximately 3-4 days after banking. 
  • If you bank your own funds don’t forget to include your unique reference number (found on the front of the Deposit Book) or name so we can track your funds and add it to your online fundraising total. You will need to be linked to your team’s online fundraising page if you want your fundraising to be added to their total. These donations will appear approximately 3-4 days after banking.
