Reducing exclusion and disadvantageWe recognise that although everyone has equal value, not everyone has equal opportunities. Our funding aims to reduce this opportunity gap for those who are most disadvantaged by it.
Mana MāoriWe recognise the unique status of Māori as tangata whenua of Aotearoa New Zealand, and aim to work with Māori in the spirit of partnership embodied in te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Respectful relationships We acknowledge the hard work and commitment of our partners in the community sector - our vision can only be achieved through them. To support, rather than hinder, their work, we aim to keep our processes as simple as possible, the compliance costs of our funding low, and our relationships open and authentic.
