About co-investment

Co-investment is a mechanism to enable partnerships with philanthropic organisations or other funders to co-invest in initiatives that amplify collective impact and drive innovation.

We are currently undertaking exploratory policy, legal, and design work to develop options for how co-investment could work. We will engage with philanthropic organisations, iwi, and local collectives about the potential for co-investment as part of this process.

We anticipate running an application process for co-investment proposals early in 2026.
