Opepe Farm Trust — Tangihanga Grant

Before you apply

The test is the deceased, not the applicant. They must have been an owner of the trust and residing in Aotearoa. A descendant who is not yet an owner in their own right does not trigger it.

He Akina is trust office for ten Taupō entities: Opepe Farm Trust, Te Pae o Waimihia, Tauhara Moana Trust, Tauhara Middle 15 Trust, Tauhara Mountain Trust, Kaimanawa 3B2A and 3B2B Trust, Te Mana o Tauhara Charitable Trust, Tahorakuri No.2, East Taupō Lands and Wairakei Charitable Trust. As at 3 September 2026, Tauhara Middle 15, Tauhara Mountain, Kaimanawa 3B2A/3B2B, Te Mana o Tauhara and Tahorakuri No.2 have no grants published on He Akina's site — ask what a whānau's owner interests in any of them are eligible for. There is an All Grants Brochure covering the lot.

Other grants across the group include a Kaumātua Grant for Tauhara Moana owners 65+, an Over 80's Grant ($600, paid in March) and Tangihanga Grant ($500) for East Taupō Lands owners (its tertiary, school and kaumātua-medical grants are currently paused — listed separately), monthly tertiary education, projects, wānanga and marae unveiling grants for ngā hapū o Wairakei, an education grant and a kura/kohanga reo grant for Te Pae o Waimihia members and providers (all listed separately), and 20kg of fish or trout to support Ngāti Tūwharetoa tangihanga.

Opepe Farm Trust also issue an Owner Card giving owners and beneficiaries a discount on Opepe Farm Fresh Milk, available through the milk dispenser in Taupō. Keep your details current with He Akina to receive pānui about it.
