Partner with us

We invite you to kōrero about a tailored and mutually beneficial partnership. Our partnership levels offer various opportunities for storytelling, engagement, unique venue access, special opportunities and to share exciting future initiatives.

Becoming a strategic partner will support our students to study under tohunga and to graduate with a certification at the same level as a Master’s degree in the New Zealand Qualifications Authority system.

It also helps ensure the national and international outreach of Māori arts, crafts and culture with exhibitions, carving unveilings and more.
