Te Pūaha Talks has an exciting range of online capability workshops and webinars scheduled for the coming months. This programme of free events, supported by Foundation North, has been designed and curated based on what people working in social impact have told us they want.
Each event is an opportunity to learn from people who are leaders, innovators, and influencers in their areas of expertise. The aim is to help participants build their knowledge and confidence to apply what they learn to their own community organisation or area of practice.
Recordings of the webinars will be available online through Te Pūaha o te Ako, alongside additional resources such as templates and links to related sources of information.

Introducing new tools for your social impact keteparaha
There are many resources and lots of information available for community organisations looking to build foundational skills for running an organisation, find funding, or develop capabilities for social impact. Finding the right resources and information can be a challenge.
CSI has produced three online guides to make it easier for you to find the best resources around, and we invite you to join our associates Emily Garden and Kathryn Nemec for an informal online lunchtime introduction to.
- the Funding Guide – information on funders, what they are looking for, the types of funding available and how to identify which funders are most likely to support your type of organisation or project.
- the Core Skills Toolkit – overview of the fundamental organisational skills and issues you need when you are leading or developing a small or new community or not-for-profit organisation.
- the Capability Wheel - a curated selection of resources to help you strengthen your organisational capabilities to deliver social impact.
