Melanoma Network of NZ needs a new website – urgently!

$3,560 of $10,000 goal
Given by 27 generous donors in 5 weeks

As a small charitable organisation, MelNet is seeking support for an urgent website upgrade so we can continue our important work.

Nationwide

The Melanoma Network of New Zealand (MelNet) is a registered charity representing over 1,300 health professionals committed to reducing the incidence and impact of melanoma and other skin cancers in New Zealand.

Our mission is to provide essential education, resources, networking opportunities, and guidance to skin cancer professionals. We also lead the development and implementation of clinical guidelines for consistent melanoma care and drive a national strategy for skin cancer prevention and early detection.

Why a new website?

Our website and membership database are vital to our operations. Unfortunately, we can no longer upload new content or process membership requests through our current website, and IT experts have advised that the site is broken beyond repair.

A website upgrade was planned for the future, depending on funding, but this has now become a matter of urgency. This upgrade will ensure we can continue to provide critical support to health professionals, which in turn will help save New Zealanders' lives.

How your donation will help

As a small charitable organisation, we need your financial support to proceed with this urgent website upgrade.

Please help us continue our important work in the fight against skin cancer. Every donation, no matter how small, will bring us one step closer to building a resource that will help thousands of people.

Thank you for any support you may be able to provide.

Our charity number is CC47542.

About us

The Melanoma Network of NZ is a registered charity for professionals concerned about skin cancer. Our mission is to reduce the number of people who develop skin cancer and help ensure those who do receive evidence-based diagnosis, treatment and care.

Use of funds

All proceeds will go towards resurrecting and upgrading the MelNet website.
