Mokaraka Trust
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- Mokaraka Trust takes applications by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so organisations should not apply unless they have been invited.
- Its stated purpose is the education of Māori and women, given mainly as scholarships, maintenance allowances and grants tenable at educational institutions, so a request for funding for an organisation's own running costs does not match what it describes.
- Its stated geographic focus is New Zealand, which a charity based elsewhere should weigh before anything else.
- The annual report shows £93,700 paid in total, which may include grants to individuals, and one stated programme, the Mokaraka Wāhine Māori in Business Scholarship, offers up to NZ$15,000, but the grant range is not stated, so no typical request size can be given.
- Timing and how competitive the process is are not stated.

What they fund
Priority Areas
The trust promotes education for Māori and women, principally through scholarships, maintenance allowances and grants tenable at educational institutions. Its stated purpose covers study at secondary, higher, tertiary and further education institutions. The latest report describes scholarships made via a university and support for students’ tuition, accommodation and academic performance, alongside funding for a programme encouraging young Māori women to pursue business studies at university. Trustees determine potential channels for awards and meet regularly to review grant applications when required. The report thus records assistance for individuals as well as funding connected with university-led education activity.
