Neurological Foundation of New Zealand

The Neurological Foundation of New Zealand continues to strive to make a difference to those with neurological conditions by raising money to fund research into the very best neurological research here in New Zealand.

Our mission is to be a catalyst to improve the quality of life for the one in three New Zealanders impacted by neurological conditions. We’re committed to providing hope that through research there will be better treatments and possible cures for a range of conditions, now and in the future.

For those living with a neurological condition, every small achievement can be a monumental step forward. We call these achievements "inchstones," as each one brings us closer to a significant milestone. Just as people facing the challenges of neurological conditions measure their progress inch by inch, so too do our researchers as they work to unravel the mysteries of the brain. Scientific progress is methodical, precise, and often slow, requiring time, dedication, and patience. Since 1971, research funded by the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand has steadily advanced our understanding of a wide array of neurological conditions and diseases. It’s only when we reflect on where we began that we can truly appreciate the progress we've made.
