In 2025, development funding contracted globally. Yet supporters like you made it possible for Evidence Action to not only maintain but grow their impact: reaching millions of people living in poverty across Africa and Asia with proven, cost-effective programs. These updates capture a year defined by scale, learning, and steadfast commitment to doing the most good with every dollar.

Right now, funding cuts are creating critical gaps in global health programs. USAID cuts have halted billions in lifesaving aid, while preventable diseases continue to claim lives. But here's your opportunity to help fill that gap: Thanks to a generous sponsor, all first-time donors and donors returning after more than a year will have their donation to our global health charities matched 1:1.

Results from the 2024-25 financial year are in— our wonderful community donated over $3M NZD to effective charities!

As part of our annual review process, we’ve made the difficult decision to wind down our partnership with Unlimit Health (formerly known as the SCI Foundation).

We hope your 2025 has been off to a great start— it's hard to believe that January is almost over already! As we begin the year in earnest, we’d like to take a moment to reflect on the amazing things our community achieved in 2024. Over the past year, EA NZ donors gave over a million dollars to effective charities.

Almost half of New Zealand adults don’t have a will.
If you're one of them, you could be making a costly mistake.
