Our Story
TĀ UPEGA TRUST was established as a charitable trust with a clear purpose: to be the direct community support arm for Māori, Pasifika, and diverse communities across Aotearoa-New Zealand. We operate in a unique hybrid model alongside EVALU-NATIVE LTD, a for-profit entity specialising in culturally informed programme evaluation. This strategic partnership ensures our sustainability, with a significant portion of EVALU-NATIVE LTD’s profits reinvested directly into the Trust’s vital community work and our long-term vision for the Pasifika Village.
