Breast Cancer Cure is the only not-for-profit charitable trust in New Zealand, established exclusively to support research aimed at finding a cure for breast cancer.
The statistics are tough; breast cancer does not discriminate. It impacts individuals across all ethnicities, both males and females, spanning any age range. Shockingly, one in nine Kiwi women will face breast cancer in their lifetime. Tragically, we lose two women every day, with one woman diagnosed every three hours. Despite these harsh realities, we firmly believe that breast cancer can and should be survivable.
The positive news is that our support is at the HEART of progress being made to date.
We have been at the forefront of funding impactful and innovative breast cancer research in New Zealand for over 27 years. Throughout the past three decades, our dedicated breast cancer researchers have initiated world-class projects aimed at improving outcomes for those battling this disease.
We exist for a breast cancer cure.
The scientists behind a cure.
We are fortunate to have some of the most brilliant research minds, found at every University in New Zealand, dedicated to exploring ways to find a cure.
We have enabled more than 52 research projects led by New Zealand researchers since 1997.

We are proud to have formed a collaborative working relationship with Cancer Research Trust New Zealand. The objective of this partnership is to bolster funding opportunities for New Zealand scientists and researchers focused on breast cancer. Both organisations are deeply committed to supporting the research sector and improving inequities and outcomes for those diagnosed with breast cancer in New Zealand.
Our Impact.
Our funded research projects are actively contributing to improved outcomes for individuals battling breast cancer, redefining the concept of a cure. This includes advancements in more humane treatments, early detection methods, enhanced diagnosis and prognostics, precise therapies, and an overall improvement in the quality of life and survival, with a dedicated focus on enhancing equity.
Breast Cancer Cure funded studies and trials have played a central role in significant breakthroughs. Continued funding is imperative to prevent further loss of lives due to this disease.
