Since our founding in 1936, the work of reaching students for Christ and changing students for life has been funded through the generous giving of students, graduates, churches, trusts and friends from New Zealand and around the world. Every gift helps tertiary students in universities, polytechnics and wānanga hear and respond to the gospel. Together we are a fellowship partnering in student mission throughout New Zealand and beyond.

As a registered New Zealand charity, donations to TSCF are eligible for a tax credit.

Individuals

The majority of TSCF’s funding comes from individuals who share this vision of seeing students reached with the gospel and equipped to follow Jesus throughout their lives.

If you’d like to partner with us through a donation, you can give online here. Regular monthly donations enable us to budget and plan ahead in this mission work, and all donations are appreciated.

Some supporters also choose to include TSCF in their will, creating a lasting legacy that will help future generations of students encounter Christ.

Churches

Churches throughout New Zealand partner with TSCF through prayer, financial support and encouraging students in their communities.

Together, we believe the local church and campus mission play complementary roles in reaching students and helping them become lifelong disciples of Jesus.

Trusts

We are grateful for the generosity of personal, family and community trusts that support the work of  TSCF.

Several trusts help fund the operational needs nationally, and also support field staff across the country. Other trusts enable new initiatives, strategic projects and capital developments.

We believe the gospel calls us to be good stewards of the resources entrusted to us. As part of that commitment, we seek to be transparent about how those resources are used. You can view our most recent financial report for the year ended 31 December 2025 here.

Financial reports are also available through the New Zealand Charities Register. TSCF’s registered charity number is CC23673.

If you would like to discuss giving as an individual, through your church or trust, or would like information about leaving a gift to TSCF in your will, we’d love to hear from you.
