Manga Iti Grant Applications

Te Mana o te Awa & Te Mana o te Iwi Grants

 

These funds are designed to advance and support initiatives, projects and uri that contribute to the health and wellbeing of Te Awa Tupua. Historically these funds have been known as Manga Iti & Rongoroa.

Te Mana o te Awa and Te Mana o te Iwi funds are focused on supporting the priorities of Te Rautaki o Te Whawhaki. These kaupapa may create opportunities to explore larger, long-term projects that benefit Te Awa Tupua and Whanganui Iwi.

The overall aim of the funding is to grow the capability and capacity of our people to enhance the health and well-being of Te Awa Tupua.

We welcome applications that align to the priority areas of the fund:

  • Iwi capacity building – to enhance and strengthen the capacity of Whanganui Iwi to collectively play a primary role in the planning, management and regulation in relation to Te Awa Tupua;
  • Environmental enhancement – to enhance and protect water quality, native flora and fauna, biodiversity and ecology associated with Te Awa Tupua;
  • Research & monitoring – to gain further understanding of the environmental, cultural and spiritual health and wellbeing of Te Awa Tupua; and the impacts of various activities on Te Awa Tupua and the relationship between Whanganui Iwi and Te Awa Tupua;
  • Cultural and spiritual enhancement – to strengthen, promote and enhance Whanganui Iwi cultural and spiritual knowledge, practices and connections in respect of Te Awa Tupua.

Register

Do you whakapapa to the Whanganui River? Would you and your whānau like to be registered on the Whanganui Iwi Database? What does that mean?

It means that you get sent pānui and updates on kaupapa related to the Whanganui River and Te Awa Tupua, the people and the river from the Mountains to the Sea. You can also apply for the different grants that are advertised on our website and facebook page.

If you are already on the database and need to up date your details please head to the database or send us an email at office@ngatangatatiaki.co.nz
