The new whare is being funded in two steps:
(1)the building which will cost $980,000
(2)the fit-out including the furniture, the kitchen, the solar power system, the landscaping and the educational equipment which will cost $247,000.
Initially $690,000 was raised towards the cost of the building. Since March 2015 we have:
raised $100,000 from the sale of the waka tete kura now named “Whakaruru Te Hau”
had commitments for another $25,000 for ten wananga
raised over $5000 from donations.
We are still seeking to raise $170,000 to complete the building. We are optimistic that we will be able to seek funding for Stage 2 from funding agencies once the first stage is completed.
A suggested amount for donations is $20 for an individual and $100 for a whanau, although all larger or smaller donations will be greatly appreciated. Tarai Waka is a registered charity (Registration number: CC43768) and all donations are tax deductible.
Donor’s names will be displayed on the “Friends of Aurere” board at the Whare Wananga. Corporate sponsors making more substantial donations will be able to display their logo. Donors will be acknowledged in all communications about the Whare Wananga.
Each individual or whanau donor of $20 or more will go into the draw for one of 25 places on a sail on a waka hourua. A range of benefits are also available for larger corporate donors.
