Thanks

We would not be able to do our work without the generous support of others. This year we are particularly appreciative of the following grants:

  • Lottery Community Sector Research Committee for supporting Ngā Rerenga o Te Tiriti
  • ASB Trust for supporting Treaty workshops for the public and for groups applying the Treaty
  • Lottery Environment & Heritage to digitise the reference library
