Check out Nikau Foundation's 2025 Funding Report, including $235k going towards the great mahi going on in the Porirua region - ka mau te wehi!
This year was Nikau’s largest Grants Round ever.
In total, we received over 450 applications requesting almost $4.5 million from organisations supporting communities across Te Upoko-o-te-Ika-a-Māui, the Greater Wellington region.
Representing a 6% increase in applications from 2024, this is reflective of a challenging economic climate, high community need, narrowing funding eligibility and redirected funding, which have collectively created an extremely challenging environment for most for-purpose organisations.
With needs high, we listened and leaned in to deliver practical, meaningful and responsive support to our communities.
