About us
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for New Zealanders impacted by neurological conditions.
We’re committed to providing hope that, through research, there will be better treatments and possible cures for the range of conditions, now and in the future.
For 50 years, the Foundation has funded basic science and clinical research into conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, dementia, motor neuron disease, autism, multiple sclerosis, mental illness, migraine, epilepsy, spinal cord and traumatic brain injury and dozens of other debilitating conditions.
We are the only non-governmental organisation (NGO) dedicated to funding neurological research in New Zealand.
Research funded by the Foundation has already given neurologists a much better understanding of neurological conditions, and has led to numerous ground-breaking discoveries and treatment options.
We’re proud that the work we fund is saving and improving the lives of so many New Zealanders. And, thanks to the generous donations of our supporters, our important work continues.
Only by working together can we unlock the secrets of brain disease and help find cures to give people hope for the future.
