Reducing exclusion and disadvantageWe recognise that although everyone has equal value, not everyone has equal opportunities. Our funding reduces this opportunity gap, prioritising those who are most disadvantaged by it.
Tangata Whenua RelationshipsWe recognise the unique status of Māori as tangata whenua of Aotearoa New Zealand, and work with Māori in the spirit of partnership embodied in te Tiriti o Waitangi.
High-Trust RelationshipsWe 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 keep our processes as simple as possible, the compliance costs of our funding low, and our relationships high-trust and authentic.
