Established in mid-2024, TTCDA is driving a fresh approach to strengthening the for-purpose sector across Te Tauihu (the Top of the South). We're not here to do more of the same—we're here to do things differently.
Our mission is to spark innovation, collaboration, and collective impact by working alongside community organisations, iwi, business, funders, and local and central government. We build the systems, connections, and capabilities needed for the community sector to thrive, championing community-led solutions that create sustainable change across the entire for-purpose ecosystem.
The Agency is community-led and governed by a kawenata (relational covenant) in partnership with Ngā Iwi o Te Tauihu, the eight iwi of our region. We respond to sector needs and build capability, capacity, collaboration, and strategic voice through our four strategic pillars: Go Wide, Go Deep, Go Collective, and Go Digital.
