Donate to make Matariki a public holiday
With the koha we have received so far, we have been able to:
- Host a free and informative kōrero with Stacey Morrison, Professor Rangi Mātāmua and Qiane Matata-Sipu on Matariki and what it could look like if it were a public holiday
- Commission polling that shows the majority of people agree Matariki should be a public holiday
- Promote our campaign through The Spinoff and Stuff in two articles that have been read and shared by tens of thousands of people.
- Create and deliver Matariki messages on Instagram that have reached over 70,000 people
Your donations now will be put toward our long-term work to bring a Matariki public holiday into being.

We rely entirely on individual donations and grants to power our work. We don’t receive government funding or accept money from lotteries, which means we remain fully independent and people-powered. Our team works hard to make sure every contribution — no matter the size — has a meaningful impact. Every dollar helps us build a more fair and just Aotearoa New Zealand.
As the banks have withdrawn the availability of cheques, we can no longer accept them. Please consider donating via a bank transfer or directly through this form.
