How you can help

A gift in your will helps ensure that the Malaghan Institute can make an impact on the health and wellbeing of New Zealanders for generations to come.

Our research would not be possible without the backing and long-term vision of supporters like the late Len and Ann Malaghan, who saw the potential and value of world-class independent medical research in New Zealand.

All gifts, whatever the size, mean a great deal to us and leave a lasting impact on advancing medical research in New Zealand.

Caring for the future

"One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade." - Chinese proverb
