Give now. Because their mental health matters.

With your help, we can give everyone in Aotearoa the tools to enjoy positive mental health and wellbeing.

Why donate to us?

Like physical health, mental health is something we all have, and we need to look after it.

After all, there is no health without mental health.

We know you care about mental health. That's why you're here.

It's because of the kindness of people like you that the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand can strive to reach everyone in Aotearoa, and have a measurable impact on their mental health and wellbeing.

We uplift. And we fight.

We campaign hard, to advocate for anyone experiencing mental distress to get the respect and support they deserve.

Will you join us?

"One in five of us will experience a mental health challenge this year. I’m one of them. I live with bipolar and I know that with the right support people can, and do, recover from mental distress. Thank you for walking alongside us.”
