Supporting Individual & Roopu Kaupapa in the Communities

Allen Pukepuke

“This is a kaupapa we have been wanting to do for a long time and was inspired by the many kaumatua and kuia that we have taken care of and that have made significant contributions to our communities.” In response to this, the Haven Falls Community Trust was established at the beginning of 2019.”

Trust Kaupapa – What is the purpose of the Community Trust

The purpose of the community trust is to provide financial support to individual and community kaupapa that contribute to development and empowerment of our communities in which we operate.

We seek to assist those who are unable to access support from other avenues. For instance, whanau, organisations and individuals who are ineligible for funding from ASB, TPK, or Lotto etc. Our focus is on providing support for those who have limited access to such resources.

What sets this trust apart is the expectation that recipients of the trust’s funds will give back to their community. Unlike other funding organisations, we do not provide funds in exchange for advertising, logos on jerseys, or similar promotional exchanges. Instead, the Trust requires that any individual or group receiving support contribute in some way to their community. This could include activities such as gardening, painting for kaumatua, or facilitating community workshops

The following criteria must be met to receive funding from the Community Trust

  • The kaupapa seeking funding contributes to empowerment and development of te ao Māori.
  • The individual/roopu seeking putea has a kaupapa in place to pay it forward through some type of community support/activity.
  • The individual/roopu seeking putea cannot access the more traditional funding resources.

Trust Funding Sources – Where does the Community Trust get its money from

The community Trust receives three types of income streams. The first and primary source of income is received via a percentage of monthly income from each of our Haven Falls sites. Also contributed to the trust is any monetary koha received by Haven Falls. Private donations are also received directly from members of the public who wish to make their own contribution.
