About us

We are a young organisation set up in 2022 with establishment trustees from diverse ethnic communities. Our trustees represent a depth of experience working with diverse ethnic community groups, governance and government, research and evaluation in Aotearoa.

We honour Māori as tangata whenua and Te Tiriti o Waitangi as the foundation document for Aotearoa as a bicultural nation, with multicultural communities. 

We will evolve through actively connecting and working with and for ethnic community groups, researchers and evaluators to better understand how and what we can do to best be of value.
