New Kaitohutohu/Māori Development Advisor - Marama Takao has joined our team as our new Kaitohutohu.  Marama has iwi links to Ngāti Rārua, Te Ātiawa and Ngai Tūhoe.  She has worked for more than a decade for the Department of Internal Affairs at both local and national levels, and has extensive knowledge of community development, grant making, and assisting DIA to improve its ability to work with Māori communities.  Māori development is a significant focus for the Trust now, and we are confident that Marama will be a great contributor.

Creating a socially just and inclusive Aotearoa New Zealand

E waihangatia ana he hapori tika, he hapori urutomo hoki ki Aotearoa.

 

Nau mai, haere mai. Welcome.

The J R McKenzie Trust is a philanthropic organisation that has been in Aotearoa New Zealand for almost 70 years.

The focus of the Trust is on building and supporting strong, inclusive and socially just communities. We support organisations to reduce inequality and social exclusion through long-term funding partnerships. Our focus is on social, health and developmental needs, especially within our two key areas of attention: disadvantaged children and their families, and Māori development.
