About us
We care deeply about what we do, supporting ground-breaking research and empowering New Zealanders with health-related advice.
Our team raises funds, runs events throughout New Zealand, and distributes funding to successful applicants. We work closely with our Council and committees to inspire our supporters, raise awareness of neurological conditions, and ensure funding remains available.

Our Supporter Relations Team is passionate about the work they do to raise funds for the Neurological Foundation. They are the perfect people to speak to if you are interested in supporting the Foundation.
The Neurological Foundation Head of Research manages the application and awards process for grants, scholarships and fellowships, and is the main contact for applicants, recipients and the research offices that host each grant.
The Chief Medical Advisor guides the Foundation in all clinical matters, ensuring accuracy in all our communications. They advise the Scientific Advisory Committee on clinical aspects of funding applications and are part of the Personal Awards Committee for senior and clinical fellowships.
We are proud of the ground-breaking research that we have been able to fund thanks to our supporters.
The Neurological Foundation Council is the governing body of the Foundation and is made up of business experts, neurologists and neuroscientists, who volunteer their time.
The Foundation maintains a pool of expert committee members and selects from this pool to convene the Scientific Advisory Committee and Personal Awards Committee, as required, to consider funding applications.
