Rohenga Tipuna Grant

Hapū-led development grant across Ngāti Porou's Rohenga Tipuna, up to $50,000 per Rohenga Tipuna per year, recently refreshed to reward wider marae endorsement.

Closes

“Grant is open all year.”

Who can apply

“The Rohenga Tipuna Grant supports hapū-led development initiatives that strengthen capability, governance, administration, and collective aspirations within each Rohenga Tipuna.” Applicants must “Be a registered charitable legal entity; or Nominate an endorsed charitable fundholder to receive and administer funding on behalf of the Rohenga Tipuna collective,” with funding allocated proportionately to the share of marae within the Rohenga Tipuna that endorse the application — “if an applicant receives endorsement from 50% of the marae... they may apply for 50% of the annual allocation.”

Whakapapa

A Rohenga Tipuna collective within Ngāti Porou.

Amount

“Funding of up to $50,000 per Rohenga Tipuna per annum remains available, with a maximum allocation of $150,000 per Rohenga Tipuna over 3-years.”

Before you apply

Recently refreshed following a Toitū Ngāti Porou Charitable Trust review: the previous 3-year funding timeframe was removed for more flexible access over time, and allocation now scales with the level of marae endorsement received. Applicants should read the COO Information Letter and Marae Endorsement Letter template linked from the page, and engage with marae in their Rohenga Tipuna before applying. tnp@tronp.org.nz.
