We are stoked to be accepting applications for Wave 16, a new round of funding that will foster growth and resilience for whānau. Applications for Wave 16 are open until noon on 28 February 2022. Use the button below to apply now.
Our Wave funding is a social innovation model that gives whānau the agency to realise their own aspirations. We release one or two Wave rounds per year and welcome applications from individuals, whānau, community groups and businesses who want to run an initiative or programme that will support them and their hapori.
Wave funding supports with projects that seek to help whānau and hapori to thrive, and particularly to overcome the ongoing impacts of COVID-19. We are especially interested in projects that are designed and driven by the whānau and communities they seek to support. All projects must support our Whānau Ora outcomes, as outlined in the seven pou that guide us. Click here to learn more about the seven pou.

We are stoked to be accepting applications for Wave 16, a new round of funding that will foster growth and resilience for whānau. Applications for Wave 16 are open until noon on 28 February 2022. We are looking for innovators, creative thinkers and entrepreneurs who have an idea for a kaupapa that will support their whānau and community. We are also especially interested in kaupapa that will support
educational transformation for our tamariki and rangatahi, in the wake of the disruptions they have experienced over the past two years. Our team is holding online workshops – more details below. These workshops are a great opportunity to learn more about Wave funding, ask any pātai, and get help with your application.
In light of the country’s shift to the red setting, the remaining Wave 16 workshops in Hokitika, Westport and Ōtautahi will be held online only. Although we are incredibly disappointed to miss out on the chance to connect kanohi ki te kanohi, these Zoom sessions will still allow whānau to learn more about Wave 16 and get help completing the application form. The presence of the highly transmissible Omicron variant in Te Waipounamu is a reminder that the pandemic is far from over, and that more than ever we need the creativity and innovation of whānau to develop solutions to the challenges ahead.
Each workshop will go ahead at the planned time, and if you have registered to attend you will receive an email with the Zoom link.

In colloboration with Tūmaia we deliver Te Pāpori o Whakatere, a development programme for successful Wave funded applicants. The programme aims to grow the Wave kaupapa into thriving initiatives that create sustainable change for whānau and communities. Te Pāpori o Whakatere is run as a series of wānanga where experts provide free legal, human resources, financial and marketing advice. Entrepreneurs also attend these wānanga to share their experiences and insights.
