Riuwaka Hauora Grant

Welcome

Improving and maintaining health, both physical and mental, for all our whānau is a goal and aspiration for the Trust, so a hauora grant was established as an annual benefit for individual owners of the Trust, towards their health and wellbeing.

The Riuwaka is one of the main sources of sustenance and healing for mana whenua ki Motueka people, and so it is named the Riuwaka Grant.

The Riuwaka Grant is available to all registered owners of the Ngāti Rārua Ātiawa Iwi Trust residing in Aotearoa.

It is a once-per-year $75 benefit provided to registered owners with a valid receipt of services (for the current year).

Every registered NRAIT owner is eligible to receive the grant for any services related to their personal health and wellbeing, each year. Services (or products) that will be funded are decided on a case-by-case basis. You can see an example of some of the services covered below.

Information

  • An application for funding can be made after the service has been used and paid.
