Support the Liggins Institute
Liggins Institute supporters are an integral part of our community: they contribute to life-changing research that will improve health outcomes for New Zealanders.
The Liggins Institute has to be self-sufficient. While we often compete successfully for public and commercial research funding, we also look to the wider community to grow and develop. That's why philanthropic support is crucial. We build much-needed funds for blue sky research and PhD scholarships with every donation you make.
Become a supporter of the Institute and you'll have opportunities to
meet our scientists, see research in action, and attend fascinating
lectures and social events.
