Te Puni Kōkiri manages the Māori Development Fund which aims to advance the social, economic and cultural development of Māori in ways consistent with Māori aspirations.

Grants are available to eligible kaitono for a range of initiatives that support these aims, subject to available funding. If you believe you may have a proposal for the Māori Development Fund, please talk to kaimahi in your nearest Te Puni Kōkiri regional office before developing this.

Please also refer to the Oranga Marae programme managed by the Department of Internal Affairs if you wish to apply for support to re-develop your marae, including construction activities.
