The future of Aotearoa New Zealand’s environment depends on Māori leadership and Indigenous knowledge. Whakaruruhau is here to fund it.

​

Whakaruruhau is a bold new strategy to elevate, fund, and protect Māori-led environmental initiatives across Aotearoa. It is a transformative online platform connecting philanthropists and impact investors with Māori-led and Māori-supported environmental initiatives. It blends the reach of crowdfunding with the rigour of values-based investment — and it does so entirely on Māori terms.

​

Rooted in tikanga Māori, Whakaruruhau is more than a funding tool. It is a living expression of manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, and rangatiratanga — a digital whare that shelters our stories, our sovereignty, and our solutions.
