Why support us

Why your support matters

Your support helps keep neurological research moving forward in New Zealand.

One in three New Zealanders will experience a neurological condition in their lifetime. Behind that statistic are people, families and communities facing conditions that can affect memory, movement, speech, independence and quality of life.

Research is the pathway to better understanding, earlier diagnosis, improved treatment and better care. It gives clinicians and scientists the evidence they need to improve outcomes for people affected by conditions of the brain and nervous system.

The Neurological Foundation is uniquely placed to fund this progress in New Zealand. We support research, clinical leadership, public education and nationally significant infrastructure, including the Human Brain Bank.

Your donation helps keep neurological research moving forward in Aotearoa.

Neurological Foundation Human Brain Bank

The Neurological Foundation Human Brain Bank is a nationally significant research resource helping scientists better understand conditions affecting the brain and nervous system.

Through the generosity of donors and families, researchers can study donated brain tissue to identify changes linked to conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease and dementia.

Your support helps sustain the research infrastructure needed for future neurological discovery.
