Stakeholder Engagement

Kūkākūkā · Stakeholder Engagement

Built Together, Through Real Relationships

This is a cooperative effort — the funder, advisors, partners, and community shape the work together, not from a distance. Kūkākūkā means to consult and talk things through. Many of these relationships are still forming during the funded phase; we name them honestly, and we grow them with care.
