Ongoing partnership funding — approach the Centre

Funding route

Partnership or co-investment

Applicants

Iwi & Māori organisations, Businesses & land trusts, Tauira & researchers

Before you apply

Work has included identifying factors for productive Māori-owned and managed land, and a Parininihi ki Waitotara project assessing alternative plant feed at scale in Taranaki. The Centre notes existing approaches do not fully engage Māori landowners, so new partners are actively wanted.
