About This Opportunity

The Ngāi Tahu Fund was established in 2005 by Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu to ensure whānau have the ability to access resources to strengthen Ngāi Tahu cultural excellence through sustainability, innovation and tenacity. The fund supports registered tribal members and Ngāi Tahu associated groups who seek funding for projects designed to meet specific cultural objectives, including building cultural knowledge, encouraging cultural practices and leadership. The growth of tribal cultural capacity is essential to protect and preserve Māori culture for the future. Ngāi Tahu culture encompasses values and traditions, language and whakapapa - the elements that tell where the people have come from, how they lived, who they were and who they are today.
