Waikato-Tainui is guided by our overarching mission of growing a prosperous, healthy, vibrant, innovative and culturally strong iwi that enables mana motuhake (self-sufficiency). We are a leading tribal organisation representing 68 marae and over 82,000 tribal members. We have a responsibility to protect and uphold our Crown settlements for the benefit of current and future generations.

Waikato-Tainui delivers a range of initiatives directed at improving outcomes for our tribal members and marae in the following areas:

- Kaupapa (Cultural wellbeing, tikanga, te reo, heritage & identity)
- Hapori (Education, Career Pathways, Employment, Housing, and overall Health and wellbeing)
- Taiao (Environmental wellbeing, natural resource management, climate change, and sustainability)
- Whai Rawa (Economic development, enterprise, investment, and financial literacy)
- Mahi Tonu (Planning, strategy, legal, compliance and operational frameworks)

Building the capacity of our people and growing the prosperity of our whaanau remains the driving force behind our efforts as an organisation. We are equally committed to ensuring that our kaimahi (workforce) are also developed, trained, and well positioned to serve our purpose.
