Heart Foundation

Heart Foundation

Cardiovascular disease is New Zealand's biggest killer, causing 16 deaths every days, many of which are premature and preventable.

Nationwide

We fund over $2million of research projects and fellowships every year. Much of this research informs our work in the community where we work with schools and earlychildhood centres, educating our children about the importance of good nutrition and physical activity. We also support those living with heart disease and their families.

Since we began 40 years ago, heart disease death rates have fallen steadily - by 56% in men and by 54% in women. This is in large part due to our investment in scientific research. We take great pride in funding the dedicated doctors and researchers who undertake vital research that benefits all New Zealanders.
