Ki te Hoe Wānanga series
Wānanga series
The Ki te Hoe Wānanga Series provides kaupapa Māori-based professional development for trustees, family members and managers of philanthropic funders and grantmakers from across the country. Its purpose is to support philanthropic leaders to understand, engage with and support Māori aspirations, and to use this understanding to help build the Aotearoa New Zealand of the future.
The wānanga series involves three marae-based wānanga at significant places across Aotearoa New Zealand, interspersed with four online wānanga. These will be held between June and December 2024.
Registrations for 2024 are now available! You can read the full description of the series here.

“The time and space at the wānanga series gives you the confidence to know where you’re at and then map out a process of how you’re going to understand better and support iwi Māori in the way you want to.”
“We live in a bicultural nation with a special commitment to our indigenous people. Many of the organisations we serve are serving indigenous people and their needs, so if we are going to be good partners we need to be having the sorts of experiences and conversations that this programme provides”
“The wānanga series was an awesome programme for us to participate in to deepen our understanding of what it looks like to be a good partner and discover what equity truly means”
