Tapuwae Roa is a brand dedicated to achieving targeted social change by promoting the sustenance of Māori identity. Since its establishment in 2004, Tapuwae Roa has been managing funds received from the Fisheries Deed of Settlement 1992 on behalf of all Māori. With a focus on impactful design, strong delivery, and trusted partnerships, Tapuwae Roa leverages its resources and capabilities to fund, invest in, advocate for, and deliver impactful initiatives for Māori communities.

One of the key aspects of Tapuwae Roa is its outcomes framework, known as Ariā Kuneroa. This framework outlines the future state envisioned by Tapuwae Roa for iwi Māori. It includes aspirations such as an active relationship with Hinemoana and Tangaroa, thriving Māori knowledge systems, future leaders equipped with ancient wisdoms, Māori succeeding as Māori, and economic emancipation.

The framework serves as the foundation for Tapuwae Roa's work, guiding them in achieving these aspirations. Tapuwae Roa's impact outcomes encompass measurable and significant changes or effects the brand aims to create within Māori communities. These outcomes go beyond simple outputs and focus on deeper and longer-term effects resulting from Tapuwae Roa's mahi (work).
