Our Mission: To improve the quality of lives of New Zealanders living with epilepsy.

We Support People Living with Epilepsy.

Epilepsy New Zealand works to ensure that:

– all people with epilepsy have access to information relevant to their age and condition

– employers understand epilepsy and how to respond to the needs of their people living with epilepsy

– teachers understand children’s epilepsy and how to ensure they achieve a better education

– people understand and manage their epilepsy well

– society understands epilepsy so that people with the condition feel connected and included in the community.

We do this by delivering:

– support programmes for people and families living with epilepsy

– education and training tailored for individuals, families, schools, workplaces and community settings

– information and resources

– community awareness programmes

Epilepsy New Zealand is the voice for people living with epilepsy.

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.
