What we do 
A gift in your Will is an incredibly special way to continue to support the work we're able to fund.
Your legacy will help us provide funding for more research projects, more training for future neurologists and neuroscientists, vital education and, importantly, genuine hope for those living with a neurological condition. By including the Neurological Foundation in your Will today, you’ll be giving to tomorrow’s generations.
You can read more about gifts in Wills in our brochure here, or Margie Carter our Gifts in Wills Manager.
The Neurological Foundation has partnered with Gathered Here – a trusted online platform – to offer you a quick, easy way to write your Will for free. By including the Neurological Foundation in your Will, you’ll have a profound and lasting effect on generations to come. Go to Gathered Here to start the process.
When you include a gift to the Foundation, you’ll be providing much-needed sustainability for us to fund important neurological research for years to come. Your gift will not only provide stability for future research but will also help us keep funding initiatives like the Neurological Foundation Human Brain Bank and Chair of Clinical Neurology. By deciding to include a gift in your Will, you’ll be contributing to future breakthroughs in treatments, therapies and preventions.
Sue Stewart’s story highlights the importance of leaving gifts in Wills. Her husband, Malcolm, was a renowned New Zealand rally driver. In 2008, their lives changed when Malcolm was diagnosed with motor neuron disease (MND). His diagnosis brought their fast-paced world to a halt. Sue cared for Malcolm throughout his illness, witnessing the harrowing progression. “When you receive the devastating diagnosis, your world stops and your life is changed forever,” Sue reflects.
Determined to make a difference, Sue decided to leave a gift in her Will to the Neurological Foundation. “My hope is that no one else has to endure what we went through – that there will be cures for these diseases. Maybe not in my lifetime, but for the next generation.”
Sue’s story reminds us of the incredible impact your gift can make. By including the Neurological Foundation in your Will, you’ll contribute to a future where devastating diseases are better understood, treated, and cured.
When you decide to include a gift in your Will, you're not just donating for you and your loved ones, you're donating for someone's grandmother, their father, their daughter, their son, their friend. One in three New Zealanders will experience a neurological condition first-hand, which means every one of us will be affected in some way. The gift you include will fuel research that could help change people’s lives – forever.
