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 excited to introduce Wave 17, another round of funding that will invest in the aspirations of whānau. Applications are open from Monday, 16 January until Friday, 24 February 2023. Our team is here to help you through the process, so get in touch by emailing info@teputahitanga.org or calling 0800 187 689 to learn more. We’ll also be holding roadshows throughout Te Waipounamu, so come along to connect with our team, learn more about Wave funding and get support with your application. Check out the map below to see when we’ll be in your neighbourhood!
We will be hitting the road between 23 January and 3 February for a series of roadshows across Te Waipounamu. If you are thinking about applying for Wave 17, we encourage you to come along to connect with our team and learn more about the application process. We will be able to answer your pātai and help you put together a strong application. Use the links below to register for a roadshow near you!

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.
