2021 Grants Information

OBJECTIVE: Ngāti Tama ki Te Waipounamu Trust provides limited financial assistance to promote and enhance social, educational and cultural opportunities for whānau of Ngāti Tama.

Order a Delta Kai Pack OR apply for a Delta Relief Payment

Ngāti Tama Trustees have updated the “Covid Recovery and Response Plan” to provide additional support to whānau during this time of Covid-Delta. Whānau can now apply for one of two support streams through our Ngāti Tama App; either a $200 kai pack or a $200 grant. These are available to all registered Ngāti Tama members, 18 years and older.

We are currently taking applications through our secure, online app and will be calling our pāhake and whānau without an email sometime next week. We encourage all whānau to use our secure online portal and email whanau@ngati-tama.iwi.nz if you have trouble signing in.

Apply through the App

Winter Energy Grant

Ngāti Tama Trustees approved an energy grant payment of $100 per household to support whānau through winter.
To apply, email whanau@ngati-tama.iwi.nz with your energy bill (power or gas). Ngāti Tama will credit $100 direct to your energy provider account. Please check that the bill shows address, account number and ICP number. Please note that the payment is one per household, and if several registered members live at the same address there is just one payment. Contact the office if you have any pātai.

Manaaki Grant
