Paiahahā! Māori ED Fund open for applications
The 2025 round of the Māori Economic Development Fund is open!
Applicants who meet the Fund’s criteria can apply by 30 March.
The Fund aims to support the wealth and prosperity of Kāpiti Māori and is open to pakihi (business) starting out or in growth mode.
It’s supported some great Kāpiti businesses over the years – think Kāpiti Island Nature Tours, Māoriland and The Hori Gallery – take important steps forward.
A thriving Māori economy is good for the whole district, and we are proud to make this fund available!
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
