Pasifika Funders’ Network

Philanthropy New Zealand | Tо̄pūtanga Tuku Aroha o Aotearoa works closely with the Pasifika Funders Network.

The network is a team of aiga/ famili/ whānau who have taken time to support and empower each other through our Indigenous systems and knowledge base. The PFN have an accumulated wealth of NZ philanthropic knowledge which spans well over 40 years of working in the sector. We are deeply connected to our communities and families through kinship and history. We are ethnically diverse, with a depth of Pacific heritage, ancestor’s knowledge of practice, language and value systems that continue to benefit our people today. It’s this knowledge that we see the PFN as a conduit for philanthropy and Pacific communities.
