Appropedia FAQs

[Chris Watkins]

I've made a couple of pages to help us as we communicate and fundraise.

• Sponsors/FAQ‎, and..
• a general FAQ‎.
  

Please glance at them (you don't have to read them all) & let me know if anything is unclear or boring :-). Or even better, click edit and improve it.

I'm having a conversation with a community bank - I'm not sure if they'll sponsor us, but they're likely to know potential sponsors. Having a good page to point sponsors will help a lot. Looking forward to your input!

Might be worth trying the Co-Operative Bank here in Aotearoa/ New
Zealand. They were a credit union called PSIS, but they've just been
given permission to be a trading bank in the last year:

Might also be worth trying to Maleny Credit Union
http://www.mcusb.com.au/

Keep up the good work,

I looked this up - "be well/healthy" in Maori. I really like that.

Fantastic, thank you. Glad to hear there's a cooperative bank in NZ too. (Bankmecu in Australia was also a credit union and only recently became a bank. I hope we see a lot more of this!)

I'll check out Rabobank too - a very large cooperative bank.
 
Cheers

Ae, that's the literal translation of "Kia ora", and why it's my
favourite phrase in Te Reo Māori, but it's a bit like "aloha" in
Hawaiian. It can mean "hello", "thanks", "goodbye", "I agree" and all
manner of other things, depending on the situation.

Didn't know Rabobank was a co-operative. They operate here too.
