Nationwide

The Heart Foundation is New Zealand’s heart charity, leading the fight against our country’s single biggest killer – heart disease. We provide nationwide programmes, support, and resources to individuals and families in every community across New Zealand. As a registered charity, we rely on the generosity of people throughout New Zealand to support our vital work.

Our vision:

Hearts fit for life.

Our purpose:

To stop all people in New Zealand dying prematurely from heart disease and enable people with heart disease to live full lives.

More about us

We fund over $2.6million of research projects and fellowships every year. Much of this research informs our work in the community where we work with schools and early-childhood centres, educating our children about the importance of good nutrition and physical activity. We also support those living with heart disease and their families.
