Māia Health Foundation is on a journey to make a tangible and lasting impact on healthcare in Canterbury.
Māia Health Foundation is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of Canterbury communities.
Since our establishment in 2015, we have become a trusted partner in delivering exceptional healthcare, raising over $20 million thanks to the generous support of our community. These funds have supported critical projects that have made a tangible difference to the lives of Cantabrians.
From upgrading the Christchurch Hospital helipad to providing essential equipment for neonatal care, we focus on addressing the most pressing healthcare needs. Our $2 million investment in the Burwood Spinal Unit and our $6 million investment in Kahurangi, the Youth Mental Health Outpatient Facility, are just two examples of our commitment to improving patient outcomes.
Māia believes in the power of collaboration. By strategically aligning our funds with established funding in the Canterbury health system, we maximise our impact. Beyond major projects, we have also supported numerous smaller initiatives that have touched the lives of many New Zealanders. We prioritise projects where we can make the greatest difference, enhancing the healthcare experience for all.
We go where the need is greatest to improve the health and well-being of our wider community. Every dollar donated goes directly to the healthcare projects we support.
