MANA MOTUHAKE FUND

The Mana Motuhake Fund is a kaupapa-based fund open to all tauira Māori to apply for support for their intended kaupapa. It is designed to expand the scope of Ngāi Tauira activities and engage a wider proportion of Māori tauira across Te Herenga Waka.

Applicants are required to present their proposed kaupapa to the Komiti Whakahaere. Applications can be submitted in written form or presented orally at the next available Komiti hui. Applications should include key details such as a budget breakdown, proposed date, expected engagement numbers, and the type and purpose of the kaupapa. The more detail provided, the stronger the application.

Application templates can be found here or asked directly from a komiti member. We emphasise that the only limitations on kaupapa are those set by our ACSSF funding agreement. Outside of this, we welcome all ideas, big or small. Whether it’s fishing trip, cosplay days, taiaha wānanga, mahi kai, or taiao excursions, this fund is here to support what matters to you.

Think big. Think different, whānau.
