Nurture.  Giving New Zealand families a future

In August 2006, The Nurture Foundation for Reproductive Research was officially launched.  This charitable trust raises funds for the research centre of the University of Auckland’s Obstetrics & Gynaecology Department, which conducts world-class research into reproductive health.

While the charitable trust had been in existence for more than 15 years, few people were aware of it and of the importance of our research to New Zealanders and our society.

By re-branding the trust as the Nurture Foundation, we’re hoping to let more people know about the work we’re doing to help New Zealanders have families, and also to raise funds so that this research can continue.

As part of our launch, a new logo has been developed to represent the nurturing values of the Foundation and demonstrate the hope and compassion we offer couples who are struggling to have children.
