Iwi & Funders
Building with integrity, guided by kaupapa Māori and open to partnerships that honour tino rangatiratanga, cultural safety and community benefit.
Our Commitment to Māori Data Sovereignty
Tai Ora commits to Te Mana Raraunga and the CARE Principles of Indigenous Data Governance. Māori data remains under Māori authority. We uphold transparent consent, benefit sharing and culturally aligned governance. Our aim is to strengthen wellbeing, support self determination and avoid extractive practice across every partnership, product decision and process.
Cultural Alignment & Governance
We respect tikanga and kawa and support whānau centred decision making. With iwi partners we set an advisory rōpū and clear governance for hui cadence, escalation and sign offs. We document roles, data flows and consent so expectations stay clear and culturally safe. We invite kōrero to shape this.
Partnership Pathways
We welcome kōrero with iwi and Māori organisations, kaupapa Māori providers, community trusts, research and clinical teams and values aligned brands. Options include co designed pilots, evaluation programmes, creator enablement and time bound review licences that respect creator authorship and cultural integrity. We begin with a discovery hui, shared goals and a light governance plan.
Funding Alignment
We seek funders who put collective benefit before profit, uphold tino rangatiratanga and respect tikanga in practice. Pathways include iwi investment arms, whānau trusts, Māori and philanthropic funds and kaupapa aligned impact investors. We agree clear accountability, transparent reporting and non extractive terms. Funding supports authentic product evidence and returns value to users and communities.
Data & Privacy Commitments
Your trust is paramount. Data will never be sold or shared outside Tai Ora and its communities. Insights are used in collated form only and are never individually identifiable. They are used to improve Tai Ora and to guide high level studies.
For content use: only short preview videos may be shared externally when the creator has given consent. Full journeys remain on Tai Ora. Creators retain authorship and brands receive time bound licences with attribution. Experiences are personal and not medical advice. We review these settings with partners.
Where We’re Headed
Tai Ora is only the beginning. SoulGlo provides a safe space for journalling, breath and healing through sound. LydiaGlo offers guided pathways and doors that build recovery, confidence and connection. We aim to help whānau reconnect with whakapapa, te reo and tūrangawaewae for a strong sense of identity, belonging and pride so people feel seen, supported and able to flourish.
Ways to Engage
If this resonates let us begin with a discovery hui. We clarify goals, communities served, cultural and data settings, evaluation needs and pilot scope. Then we draft a light Memorandum of Understanding, governance cadence and an outcomes plan including how knowledge and benefits return to whānau. We can share a concise deck on request.
