The Lotteries Grants Board has a Marae Heritage and Facilities Fund which
provides grants for the capital costs of the conservation, and restoration
of marae facilities, including wharenui, wharekai, wharekarakia, urupa,
pataka, and whare taonga. The Lotteries Grants Board provide the grants
and Waka Taonga, the Maori Heritage team provides the support and advice
to applicants.
Grants are also available for the initial feasibility studies and conservation reports, as well as the the capital costs involved in the conservation and restoration of marae facilities. Examples of such projects include pouhenua memorials and flagpoles, marae shelters for Tangata Whenua or Manuhiri, waka shelters, and the conservation of tukutuku, kowhaiwhai, whariki and whakairo, and restoration of photographs which are within the marae.
The Marae Heritage and Facilities Committee meets three times a year, in March, June and October. Applications are due four months before each meeting, although more rapid approval for funding conservation plans ands feasibility studies is under consideration.
The Trust’s Maori Heritage Advisers are available to advise and assist Iwi and Hapu in making or supporting applications to the committee and arranging technical advice.
