The Kai Ora Fund started in 2015 as a partnership between Te Tai Tokerau Primary Health Organisation and the Far North District Council. The project has now grown and several organisations partner to enable the fund to happen and to provide support and expertise to the funded projects. We have worked with and supported a wide range of projects around Northland, with over 300 projects receiving funding.
With grants of up to $5,000, the Kai Ora Fund supports Northland based community-driven projects and initiatives that address food security and improve community resilience.
The Kai Ora Fund is a collaborative multi-sector initiative comprising Mahitahi Hauora PHE, Te Tari Taiwhenua | Department of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Social Development | Te Manatū Whakahiato Ora, Te Whatu Ora | Health New Zealand – Te Tai Tokerau, Kāinga Ora | Homes and Communities, Kaipara District Council, Healthy Families Far North, Whangārei District Council, Te Kaunihera o Te Hiku o Te Ika | Far North District Council and Foundation North.

Our Community Voice Advisory Rōpu has community members representing a range of communities, hapū and iwi across Tai Tokerau. They are passionate and well-connected people who are well known for the contribution they make and the work they do in their communities.
The rōpū acts as an independent body, providing expert perspectives, community input, advice and guidance to Mahitahi Hauora in support of its vision and strategic direction.
The purpose of the rōpu is:
• To ensure what matters to whānau, and the diversity of whānau needs are met and responded to and acted upon
• To be champions for equity
• To give voice to community and advocate for community priorities and needs to the Mahitahi Hauora Board and other sectors
• To be an incubator of ideas that can inform and contribute to the design of models of practice across Mahitahi Hauora partners
• Provide a conduit to disseminate information from Mahitahi Hauora throughout communities of Tai Tokerau
• To be a springboard for connection into priority communities for Mahitahi Hauora mahi.
