Coromandel Peninsula Recovery Appeal launched
Published on 28 January, 2026
On 21 January, the Coromandel Peninsula was placed in a State of Emergency as an intense storm moved across the district, threatening lives and property. Homes, farms and infrastructure were flooded and slips closed roads and isolated communities.
As the community foundation covering the Coromandel, Momentum Waikato is appealing to the generosity of those who can help to donate to its COROMANDEL PENINSULA RECOVERY APPEAL.
This is an independent, direct and trustworthy way to get help to your fellow New Zealanders.
As with previous Momentum Waikato appeals responding to emergencies, such as during COVID, we have the relationships with the locals on the ground, so can ensure that your donation gets to where it is most needed.
All donations will go to Coromandel organisations needing much-needed financial relief through these challenging times.
The Coromandel Peninsula Recovery Appeal is a ‘Today Giving’ extension of the Coromandel Peninsula Future Fund, which is a collaboration between Momentum Waikato Community Foundation and the Thames Coromandel District Council.
We are in this together. Kia kaha and thank you.
