IDFNZ & the Kids Foundation

Dedicated to supporting those in need

We are the Immune Deficiencies Foundation of New Zealand (IDFNZ) / Kids Foundation. We are a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting children, teenagers and adults with diagnosed Primary Immune Deficiency (PID) disorders as well as bone marrow and liver transplant children.

Our Foundation

We are dedicated to helping children and adults with suspected or diagnosed Primary Immune Deficiencies (PID) as well as bone marrow and liver transplant children.

Our Foundation provides emotional, financial and medical specialist support as well as offering hospital advocacy and funding research into PID and liver disease. We offer practical advice and an open door to our extended community of families.

Our Supporters

We are a non-profit charity receiving no government funding to provide our services. This means we are reliant on the generosity of individuals, schools, corporates and trusts who are willing and able to support us.

We run annual fundraising programmes and events, but there are so many other ways you can help, including volunteering your time or providing 'gifts of joy' for our children.

Our Families

Meet the wonderful families that we support, and learn more about their stories.
