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’.
