Through donations from grateful patients and the public, the Auckland Health Foundation financially supports projects, research and education for adult health services, which have the capacity to transform healthcare and wellness and the way it is delivered within Auckland DHB.

The Foundation goes beyond what is presently funded in the healthcare system to focus on promising ideas, innovations and technologies that have the potential to benefit our patients and community, but could otherwise not be developed without external investment.

Our goal is to ensure the future of healthcare in Auckland is world-class, providing greater positive health outcomes not only for Aucklanders, but for the whole of New Zealand. Success is not just the equipment, research and facilities our supporters have funded, but the lives they have enriched and saved in doing so.

We are focused on the following priorities:

• Promoting population health and wellness
• Supporting the training and education of both medical and non-medical staff who work for Auckland DHB
• Transforming patient care by supporting  new processes, innovation and technology for delivery of healthcare
• Advancing Discovery – patient-focused research involving Auckland DHB staff and leveraging through other collaboration

With your help, we can achieve these priorities through three categories where donors can make contributions:

• Capital appeals for specific projects, for example, a fully-resourced simulation centre
• Department directed or targeted initiatives, for example, equipment and facilities
• Research and Discovery Fund, for example, towards cancer or transplant research

We simply cannot do this work without the generosity of our supporters.  We are proud to say that 100% of funds raised goes directly towards the projects for which they were intended.
