Tahua Review

Depends

Should I use Tahua?

Purpose-built grants management software for government agencies, community foundations, and charitable trusts - tahua.io

· 2 weeks ago

A fit if you're a NZ government agency, foundation, or trust running multiple grant programs end-to-end. Skip it if you award one grant a year — a spreadsheet or lighter tool covers that.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 25+ public sources; no named customer companies, review scores, or Tahua-specific pricing found in evidence.

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

No public pricing; expect a custom quote only after a demo

medium

Only 50+ funders self-reported — thin review pool to vet claims

medium

Small nonprofits report most grantmaking software pricing excludes them

Guess: migrating applications, payments, and compliance history out later could be painful
