Making mates gets harder as life gets busier. Bay Men's Fund brings guys across the Bay together — for good events, to meet other good people, and raise funds for local charities you want to support.
Whether you've just moved here, want to meet people outside your usual circle, or just need a reason to get out of the house — this is for you.
You can join your local club for a charitable donation of $50 a month.
Where does that go you ask? Part of your membership donation is put into the Future Fund for your region, and invested, so that it can give out money to charities you care about for generations. The rest is donated straight away to local charities that you and your fellow members vote on each year. Good times that actually mean something.
Here's the deal
why join?
make mates without the awkwardness.
No forced small talk, no starting from scratch. Every event is built so you can turn up on your own and leave with a few more people in your corner.
actually get out and do something.
Real reasons to get off the couch — a surf, a brew with the harbour in view, a proper catch-up with other good guys you can get to know — not another thing you try to talk yourself out of.
give back without the effort of figuring out how.
Members vote together each year on which charities they want to support, and your donation goes straight to the ones you choose.
be part of something bigger than yourself.
Every year you're a member, you help grow your local Bay Men's Future Fund — creating a net of support that outlasts this year, and your lifetime.
give for today,
and for tomorrow + get 33.3% back.
Your monthly membership goes toward giving back — split two ways.
One slice goes into your local Bay Men's Future Fund, a pool that gets invested and grows a little bigger every year. Slow and steady, built by guys who want to leave their local community better than they found it. Over time, it'll be big enough to support BMF members' causes all on its own.
The other slice goes out that same year, at the next local celebration event. Members nominate charities and community groups that matter to them, and everyone gets a vote on who they think donations should go toward.
To top it off, you can even claim back 33.3% back from IRD, because your membership donation is tax deductible.
