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.
Support from our community is what allows NZCC to go beyond the classroom – funding inspirational student spaces, cutting-edge research, and educational opportunities that shape the next generation of chiropractors. It’s what lets us respond to opportunity rather than just meet a budget.
Become part of the NZCC Community
The NZCC Membership Programme is a monthly membership community that helps supporters stay connected and contribute regularly to our mission, while providing ongoing support and member benefits.
Together, we’re investing in future students, strengthening the chiropractic profession, and helping shape the future of chiropractic in New Zealand and beyond.
More than a monthly contribution, membership is about belonging, connection and impact.
All members get access to AXIS, NZCC’s online community hub for supporters, chiropractors, CAs, students, alumni and friends of the College – stay connected, access resources and updates, and engage with opportunities across NZCC.
