Pitch Us Your Best Idea!
Whānau Voice Grant Inaugural Funding Round Opens
Counting down until the launch of our very first Whānau Voice Grant kaupapa, a $50,000 community fund created to uplift whānau-led ideas that can transform health and wellbeing across our rohe!
He wā tēnei kia rangona te reo o te whānau. We’re getting ready to open a new grant that supports whānau, hapū, iwi and kaupapa Māori entities to capture and share whānau hauora pūrākau.
The Whānau Voice Grant is about making sure the voices of our whānau are heard and valued when it comes to health and wellbeing. It supports whānau-led projects that share stories, experiences, and ideas in ways that make sense to them, and that are grounded in tikanga. Your kōrero and insights will help show decision-makers what really matters to whānau, so future healthcare can be more supportive, respectful, and culturally aware.
We will also elevate your insights as we advocate for system change, local decision-making, and equitable funding for our rohe. Whānau can share their voices in many ways – through hui, wānanga, workshops, surveys, interviews, storytelling, or even creative forms like film and video.
This grant gives whānau the chance to design the approach that best fits their needs and aspirations. We have 10 grants available worth $5,000.
These grants reflect our commitment to a health system where whānau voices lead the way, not follow behind.
📅 Applications will open 5 November and close 27 November 2025, you can apply via our website from the 5th!
