Young people in crisis need help

Aotearoa New Zealand is facing a youth mental health crisis. Youthline's 24/7 Helpline is here to support young people in need, but demand and severity of calls is growing fast. 

One in three young people who contact Youthline are at high risk of harm, and more clinical staff are urgently needed to help. 

Your donation, big or small, can make a difference. 

When you donate to Youthline, ASB will match it

However you choose to donate, ASB will match it* - doubling the impact you make to young people in need.

*ASB is matching donations up to a maximum total of $150,000. ASB Bank Limited's terms apply.

Donation receipts

A donation receipt is a document that a charitable organisation can issue to a donor who makes a donation of over $5 in New Zealand. You can use these receipts to claim tax back on a donation. You will be issued a donation receipt when you make an online donation at youthlineappeal.nz.

Donation receipts cannot be issued for text donations, ASB staff payroll giving, or donations made using ASB True Reward dollars. If you have donated more than $5 through ASB Donate the Change, you can request a donation receipt from Youthline. You will need to provide your full name, amount donated and the date(s) as a reference so they can identify the donations(s) you have made.
