It seems they do not own the .NZ domain but are the manager of it. They were specifically formed to take responsibility for it (in 1995). It seems anyone can become a member by paying $21 a year. They are a registered charity so I guess this is their funding?

There's more info on their wikipedia page but it clears up very few of your questions.
