Our Impact and Future Goals
Māia Health Foundation is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of Canterbury communities.
Established in 2015, we have become a trusted partner in delivering exceptional healthcare. With the generous support of our community, we have raised over $20 million to fund critical projects that have made a tangible difference.
From upgrading the helipad at Christchurch Hospital to providing essential equipment for neonatal care, we are committed to addressing the most pressing healthcare needs. Our $2 million investment in the Burwood Spinal Unit is just one example of our focus on improving patient outcomes.
We believe in the power of collaboration. By aligning our funds with historical gifts to the Canterbury health system, we have maximized our impact. In addition to major projects, we have supported countless smaller initiatives that have touched the lives of countless New Zealanders.
