The Tua Iwi Foundation

"We join our HANDS, open our HEARTS and engage our MINDS together for the future of chiropractic."

The Tua Iwi Foundation is the heart of the New Zealand College of Chiropractic. It is for those who share our belief in a world of people expressing optimal potential; those who choose to support that vision.

The name Tua Iwi comes from the Maori word Tua meaning 'spine' or 'backbone' and iwi meaning 'family' or 'tribe'.

The Tua Iwi Foundation was established by the New Zealand College of Chiropractic in 2002 and has since grown to include people from all over the world who support the College in teaching vitalistic chiropractic.

Tua Iwi Foundation members share the same values and vision of chiropractic as the College and choose to provide regular financial support to the College.

Securing the future of Chiropractic

 Contributions to the Tua Iwi Foundation support our mission to be a leader in vitalistic, subluxation-focused education.

Donations enrich the lives of our students, strengthen our programme and secure the future of our College and profession. The Tua Iwi fund provides equipment vital to the growth of the campus and facilities that promote an optimum learning environment.

In the past, Tua Iwi donations have allowed us to expand our IT infrastructure including wireless internet, to grow the campus library collection and purchase much needed technique equipment for the Chiropractic Centre.

These purchases among many others have made a huge difference.

Our vision is that the Tua Iwi Foundation will continue to be the heart of future development for our College and all of it's graduates.
