Ngāti Kahungunu Wairoa Taiwhenua Incorporated is a registered charity established to advocate, promote and act for the benefit of its over 9,300 members.  This is to advance all matters: environmental, spiritual, economic, social and cultural through a tangata whenua worldview lens.

Ngāti Kahungunu Wairoa Taiwhenua has been serving the Wairoa  community for over 30 years and in 2020 the Board established an endowment fund with Hawke’s Bay Foundation. The aim of this is to provide financial security for the charity in the future as the fund steadily grows.

Annually Ngāti Kahungunu Wairoa Taiwhenua supports marae and local events and community groups through targeted sponsorship.
