Giving Opportunities
At the Malaghan Institute, we believe big ideas backed by generous hearts can change lives - both here in Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world. As an independent research institute, we’re harnessing the power of the immune system to develop smarter, safer treatments for the people who need them most. But none of this is possible without you. Through your support, you are directly tackling some of the toughest health challenges of our time - helping turn discovery into cures and hope into reality.
Our supporters are critical in this mission. Through long term partnerships, you help solve some of today's most urgent health challenges. By backing breakthrough research, you make it possible to attract leading scientifists, accelerate discoveries, and transform health outcomes for generations to come.
When you support the Malaghan, you're not just funding science, you’re standing with us to turn bold ideas into real world cures.
Thank you
- Professor Kjesten Wiig, Director
Your support today builds a healthier tomorrow
There are many ways to make a meaningful impact. You can support our work across cancer, infectious disease and allergic and inflammatory conditions - or focus on a disease that touches your family.
Every contribution accelerates progress, bringing us closer to discoveries that will change lives and improve health.
Champion future research leaders, today
The next breakthrough in cancer, infectious disease or allergy research could come from a young scientist, but only if they have the right opportunities. Your support ensures early-career researchers receive the mentorship, training and resources they need to transform curiosity into cures and innovation into impact.
Bring life-saving treatments closer to home
For many New Zealanders with hard-to-treat blood cancers, access to cutting-edge therapies like
CAR T-cell therapy is out of reach. The Malaghan Institute is leading clinical trials to change that - bringing this breakthrough therapy home. Your support makes it possible to expand access, improve patient outcomes and give more families hope where few options exist.
Unlock the tools that transform discovery
We have outstanding people and powerful ideas - but without the right tools their potential is slowed significantly. Data science is the key to understanding how the immune system works and predicting how patients will respond to treatment. With your support, the Data Science Fund can provide cutting-edge technologies and AI tools that turn complex sets of experimental data into life-changing insights, accelerating research and providing solutions to today’s toughest health challenges.
Spark the next big breakthrough
Innovation depends on agility. When a new discovery emerges, researchers need the resources to act fast. The Fast Start Fund provides early-stage grants that allow our scientists to seize opportunities, explore unexpected findings, and unlock new, unexpected directions in research.
With your support, bold ideas that can be tested today may spark the next life-changing discovery tomorrow.
Seeding a healthier future for all
By including the Malaghan Institute in your will, you’re helping solve one of medical research's greatest challenges: securing enough time for a discovery to become a cure. That’s why legacy gifts are so powerful.
Every gift, no matter the size, becomes part of a future where disease plays a smaller part of our lives. Your legacy will lead to a healthier tomorrow for generations to come.
Your impact, your way.
Every gift changes lives. As you think about your philanthropic priorities, we would be delighted to talk with you about what inspires you and how your generosity can create lasting impact. You might also consider accelerating the institute’s breakthroughs with an unrestricted gift, which directs resources to where they are needed most - delivering the strongest momentum toward discoveries and cures.

“Without the support from Kiwis like you, we simply wouldn’t be able to do the research needed to deepen our understanding of the immune system and discover new opportunities to fight disease.”
