Auckland Medical Research Foundation is thrilled to announce an extraordinary milestone in our journey toward advancing healthcare in New Zealand. We have successfully raised NZD 100,000,000 to accelerate high-quality medical research that directly benefits every New Zealander鈥檚 health and wellbeing. For over six decades, our foundation has been a trailblazer in funding research across the full spectrum鈥攆rom innovative blue skies projects to critical clinical trials and patient care initiatives. What makes this achievement even more impactful is our steadfast commitment to ensuring that 100% of donations directly support medical research; our generous endowment allows us to manage working expenses separately, so donors can be confident their contributions go exactly where they鈥檙e intended.
Since our inception in 1955, even before Auckland had its own medical school, we have played a leading role as New Zealand鈥檚 largest independent funding agency for medical research outside of government. Each year, we distribute over NZD 3 million, a testament to our ongoing dedication to advancing science and medical care. This remarkable funding round will serve as a catalyst for groundbreaking discoveries and the development of innovative treatments, addressing the historically low per capita investment in medical research in New Zealand. By investing in research that carries inherent risks yet immense potential, we are not only fostering scientific innovation but also nurturing the foundation of our future economy and public health.
We are incredibly grateful for the continued support from our donors, partners, and the community. With this new funding, Auckland Medical Research Foundation reaffirms its commitment to pushing the boundaries of medical science鈥攁ll in the pursuit of a healthier, more prosperous future for New Zealand.
