Health research funds welcome your donation
Demands on the health system mean research is often a low priority for government funding.
Various trusts therefore exist to facilitate health research, and three of them have philanthropic funds at Momentum Waikato that welcome public donations.
The Waikato Sick Babies Trust supports neonatal research and staff development in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at Waikato Hospital.
The Waikato Medical Research Foundation backs small innovative research projects and builds local capacity.
The Vision Research Foundation brings about life-changing discoveries by supporting research beyond ‘safe and incremental’.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
