The establishment of He Rau Aroha is an expression of Wellington Community Fund’s commitment to assist and advance Māori aspirations for Mana Whenua and Taura Here in the region. If you’re a group that is Māori-led, doing work that supports the development of Māori aspirations, we would love to hear from you. Email, call or text Whetū Campbell – our Kaitakawaenga Māori. Whetū will work with you to see how WCF funding could help you.
