Funding and contracts
The contracts, agreements and collaborative partnerships Te Piki Oranga holds with government and non-government organisations are key to achieving our kitenga and taukī whakatakatanga.
By working with other organisations we can take services and support deeper into our communities. For some organisations, having Te Piki Oranga as a partner or provider means whānau benefit more fully – we often support in ways that other providers cannot.
Some whānau are referred to us. And some whānau we refer to hospital or specialist care, advocating for them and helping them navigate the system.
We describe our contracts and collaborative partnerships in greater detail below.

A healthy work commute for kaimahi and active transport gains for Whakatū Nelson are in the pipeline with a new sponsorship agreement by Sealord for Te Piki Oranga in 2026.
The three-year sponsorship marks the start of the 5th year of sponsorship in total. Previous sponsorship has enabled Te Piki Oranga to support whānau transport to health appointments.
This round of sponsorship has been used to fund a modern bike shed on site of the new Whakatū Hauora Hub in Stoke.
