Our Pacific languages matter because they tell the story of who we are. Language, culture and identity is essential to the wellbeing and longtime success of Pacific people in Aotearoa.
Comparisons from Census 2013 to Census 2018 data shows that the proportion of speakers of Pacific languages in Aotearoa has declined across the board.
To be eligible, applicants must:
Be a citizen or permanent resident of New Zealand.
Be of Pacific descent.
Represent an unregistered or registered group.
Represent a Pacific owned and operated group or organisation.
Be able to deliver an initiative targeted at Pacific communities within the calendar year timeframe.
Provide a budget outline.
Applicants can only apply for one MPP language fund.
Eligible applicants will be able to apply by submitting a proposal for up to $5,000.
The Community Languages Fund will be available for initiatives that:
Align with MPP’s Lalanga Fou Goal: Thriving Pacific languages, cultures, and identities.
Have at least a 50% language delivery component.
Are targeted towards Pacific communities.
Share and pass on Pacific language knowledge.
Enable or improve access to Pacific language learning.
Increase the awareness of or provide a platform for the use of Pacific languages.
Help grow the number of speakers of Pacific languages.
All initiatives funded by the Community Languages Fund need to follow Government COVID-19 health measures for gatherings and social distancing when required. Applicants will be asked to consider alternative ways to run their programmes, such as online where possible.
The Community Languages Fund will not fund:
Initiatives that only benefit or support one individual.
For-profit activities.
Initiatives that are not aligned with the priorities of the fund.
Programmes and services that duplicate existing services.

Academic research and other academic activities.
