Applications to the fund close this Sunday July 31 and there will be no extension of that date.

The range of activities that can be funded through Mā te Reo are:
·

· Māori language courses

· Māori language resources

· Māori language plans

· Locally based Māori language events


Those interested in applying to the Mā te Reo fund must register online at www.tetaurawhiri.govt.nz

Last financial year (2015/16) Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori approved Mā te Reo contestable funding for 91 individuals and groups throughout the country, totalling $2.665 million.
