The Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ

The Foundation supports the 700,000 New Zealanders affected by a respiratory illness through education, raising awareness and research.

Wellington

One in seven kids in New Zealand live with asthma, and we need your help to raise awareness and reduce this statistic.

Asthma is prevalent within our communities, with almost 4 children in every classroom being affected. So educating young New Zealanders on how to deal with a classmate or friend’s asthma emergency is vital.

Despite receiving no government funding, we aim to make all New Zealanders asthma experts, and help improve the quality of life for those who live with the condition.

The Foundation provides free resources for children and their whānau to learn about asthma, such as the interactive website Learn About Lungs, and the Sailor the Pufferfish asthma musical; but we need your help in keeping these vital services running.

Please consider donating today, and help Kiwi kids breathe easier.

More about us

The Foundation supports the 700,000 New Zealanders who live with a respiratory condition such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchiectasis through advocacy, education and training, research and improving health literacy.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
