The organisation's stated mission is to develop, promote, and deliver accessible literacy services so that people in Aotearoa can realise their full social, cultural, and economic potential. It treats literacy as encompassing listening, speaking, reading, writing, numeracy, and critical thinking, understood within social and cultural contexts. Its kaupapa commits it to honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi and operating in accordance with tino rangatiratanga.

Literacy Aotearoa is largely funded by government through targeted education funds and contracts, and receives additional regional funding from philanthropic organisations. It also works alongside other education organisations, contributing specialist literacy and numeracy expertise to support their learners.

Governance is the responsibility of Te Koruru (the National Governing Body), which sets policy and monitors organisational effectiveness. The chief executive, known as Te Tumuaki, holds ex officio membership of Te Koruru and is responsible for managing the national organisation.
