What we do and why we exist
Tūwharetoa Māori Trust Board manages Ngāti Tūwharetoa iwi assets, providing grants, scholarships and supporting cultural, social, environmental and economic development since 1926.
Elected board and kaimahi who serve registered beneficiaries. They set direction, fund support, and act as kaitiaki for our iwi.
Our history goes back to 1926. We honour that legacy and protect our taonga for the next generations.
Home bases for tikanga, hui, and whānau connection. Each marae anchors local leadership and community life.
Specialist teams that carry out the work. One stewards Taupō waters, one manages care and access, one grows commercial returns, and one directs energy settlement funds to iwi priorities.
Grants
