2026 Ki te Hoe Wānanga Series

The Ki te Hoe Wānanga series for trustees, family members and managers in philanthropy and social change will be in its fifth year in 2026!   The purpose of the wānanga series is to support 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 series is run by three expert facilitators from Tūmanako Consultants, Haimona Waititi, Trent Hohaia, and Kate Frykberg.

The wānanga series involves three marae-based wānanga at significant places across Aotearoa New Zealand, interspersed with four online wānanga.

“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.”

— Raewyn Kirkman, DV Bryant Trust Chief Executive

“Ki te Hoe is a deep dive into your history, personal values, and outlook on society. It educates you, but ultimately it challenges you to fulfill the reason you entered into philanthropy - to make positive change in Aotearoa. I whole-heartedly recommend Ki te Hoe to anybody operating in the grant-giving world, to ensure philanthropy can help people overcome the challenges and barriers that they did not create, but must overcome, so we have a thriving Aotearoa New Zealand.”

— Riley McGregor

“Ki Te Hoe is a life changing professional development programme, valuable both from a personal and professional standpoint as a trustee of a philanthropic trust. Ki Te Hoe has enriched my perspective on the aspiration and challenges of Māori and has also challenged me personally to more deeply connect with my pacific heritage in Aotearoa. I wholeheartedly recommend this programme to anyone who cares deeply for Aotearoa and its flourishing.”

— Jesse Boyce, JRMT Trustee
