What you need to know

What you need to know

To receive funding, there must be a philosophical alignment between Whānau Ora and what you are proposing to deliver. Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu has utilised whānau voice to develop a way to identify if we are being helpful and creating opportunities for whānau success.

The Whānau Ora Outcomes Framework provides the central foundation by which all whānau aspirations can be measured.

• Check your initiative idea is a good match for whānau funding priorities
• Scope the project.
• Create your budget.

Checklist for a good application

Important details in your project description

For each application we need to know:
