There are countless ways to be part of our growing community, from networking, mentoring, and volunteering to attending events, supporting students, sharing knowledge, and giving back through philanthropy. Whatever your passion or stage of career, your involvement helps create a stronger profession and a lasting impact.
Tua Iwi Foundation – We all grow, together
The New Zealand College of Chiropractic’s Tua Iwi Foundation takes its name from the dedication chiropractic has to the power of a fully aligned spine – and because those who support the College are the backbone of our organisation.
When our supporters, students and the College are fully aligned, we all grow together.
Why support is needed
NZCC has always been built through community, connection, and a shared commitment to the future of chiropractic. Through the support of students, alumni, chiropractors, CAs, families and friends of the College, we continue to grow our impact, strengthen our community, and create opportunities for future generations.
How Your Support Helps
Supported by the sustainable contributions of our community, NZCC continues to expand its reach and impact through:
- Inspirational student spaces
- Educational opportunities
- Clinical and community initiatives
- Research and innovation
- Student support and development
Members play a vital role in supporting future chiropractors, strengthening chiropractic education and research, creating spaces for students to thrive, growing connection across the NZCC community, and helping NZCC continue to innovate and lead.
When the Tua Iwi Foundation grows, we all grow together.
