Brain Foundation
“Chances are, you or someone you love has been touched by a brain disease, disorder or injury.”
The Brain Foundation is a national charity established in 1970 by leading neurologists and neurosurgeons. Our mission is to fund the highest quality Australian research into neurological conditions, with the ultimate goal of advancing diagnoses, treatments, and patient outcomes.
Over 10.6 million Australians are living with a neurological condition. The impact extends beyond the individual level, affecting families, communities, and society as a whole. At the Brain Foundation we are working hard to reduce this impact by funding research, raising awareness, and advocating for patients.
We are so thankful to those who have chosen to leave gifts in their will to the Brain Foundation. By choosing to leave a gift in your will you can help us fund vital research and support Australians living with brain diseases, disorders and injuries for generations to come. No matter how large or small, your gift can make a difference.
