Our Funders

Turitea Marae Committee, Trustees and Members would like to acknowledge the following funders that have helped us restart our journey since February 2021.

Community Organisation Grants Scheme (COGS)

COMMUNITY ORGANISATION GRANTS SCHEME

Since 2021, we (Turitea Marae) have applied for funding with the Community Organisation Grants Scheme (COGS), who provide grants to non-profit community groups and organisations delivering community-based social services, projects and events. Grants are one-off contributions for the running or operational costs of organisations that provide community-based social services; community development costs, such as hui, training, planning, evaluation and facilitator fees; community projects or event costs that encourage participation in communities, promote community leadership and to promote social, economic and cultural equity.
Oranga Marae

Our Marae Development Plan

Funding approved

2022 we applied and received putea towards our Marae Development Plan. The purpose of Oranga Marae is to support the physical and cultural revitalisation of marae as centres of Māori identity and mātauranga. Join us on our journey from the ground up, we will have several wananga and meeting mergers to get our Marae Development Plan finalised in 2023. JOIN OUR JOURNEY, REGISTER YOUR DETAILS AND KEEP UP TO DATE WITH FUNDRAISING, MEETINGS, WANANGA, AND HOW YOU CAN TAUTOKO!!

AED Community Project

Funding approved

in 2022 TUROTO C2B2B4B1 otherwise known as Turitea Marae of Otorohanga District, received a grant to purchase a critical lifesaving device for our community, an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) kit. Having this equipment in our community will increase someone's survival chances by up to 44%. Someone with little or no training will be able to follow the visual and voice prompts through an emergency and AEDs are important because they strengthen the Chain of Survival. We thank the Mazda Foundation for their support!!

Lotteries Grant Application

This funding was to assist with project wananga noho and whanay day event costs and kitchenware provisions for our community gatherings.
