Auckland Medical Research Foundation

The Auckland Medical Research Foundation is a major independent agency and charitable trust that provides contestable funding for medical research across the complete spectrum of modern medicine.  Over the last 60 years we have distributed over $60 million in funding to a wide range of research activities - currently around $3-5 million annually.

Our Foundation is unique in the charity sector, in that every dollar donated from within the community goes directly and fully (100%) to research.  Our administration costs are generously supported by benefactors.
