At Whakaaro Factory, we recognize that while some iwi have received compensation from the Crown through treaty settlements and have made strategic investments in tools, resources, and improved communication for their people, not every iwi may be in a similar position. Our unwavering commitment is to ensure that services like ours are accessible to all iwi, prioritizing the needs of our people above all else. We continuously explore innovative approaches to make these essential services available and affordable for iwi, helping them connect with their communities effectively and promoting our rich Māori culture. Our goal is to empower every iwi, regardless of their financial circumstances, to have access to the tools they need to thrive in the digital world and strengthen their connections with their people.

​

Accessibility is at the forefront of our mission. We understand the challenges many iwi face in accessing the necessary resources to undertake meaningful projects that promote and protect our culture. That's why we're committed to leveraging our years of experience and track record in creative endeavors to facilitate collaborations and partnerships with creative funders. By pooling our expertise and pulling together compelling proposals, we aim to unlock access to larger funding pools for iwi. These partnerships can empower iwi to create a diverse range of taonga, such as meticulously designed resources, beautifully crafted books showcasing the wisdom of tūpuna, captivating animation series sharing our stories, and professionally executed promotion of iwi events and kaupapa. Through strategic social media content and intelligent communication, we engage whānau more effectively, fostering a gradual shift in thinking. With government funding readily accessible, we believe that as Māori, we should harness these opportunities to create taonga that contribute to the revival of our culture. Through collaboration and smart communication, we can achieve more for our people.
