About our Trust
The NZ Sepsis Trust is looking to establish a long-term Foundation
The NZ Sepsis Trust is a collaboration of individuals and organisations who are working to prevent sepsis, improve outcomes for sepsis survivors and support families and carers, and those bereaved by sepsis.
We have identified the value in establishing a long term endowment model (Foundation) for the purposes of supporting our important work. We believe that this Foundation would attract gifts in wills (bequests), plus living gifts of significance. It can also be the target for regular giving and payroll giving for those who want their contributions to be held under an endowment (long term investment) model.
If you are interested in discussing what might be required to establish a Sepsis Foundation for New Zealand or you would like to provide some or all of the capital required to establish/settle the Foundation fund in readiness for it to begin distributing to the Trust, then please contact us on info@sepsis.org.nz
