MISSION
The Brain Foundation is a nationally registered charity dedicated to funding world-class research Australia-wide into neurological disorders, brain disease and brain injuries.

Established in 1970 by neurologists and neurosurgeons, the Brain Foundation funds groundbreaking projects that aim to advance diagnoses, treatment and patient outcomes. The Brain Foundation annually provides research grants to candidates who are selected by eminent neurological practitioners.

Receiving no government funding, the Brain Foundation relies on the generosity of individuals, corporate donors and bequests. 100% of your donation goes to the research program. Your support will make a difference - now and for generations to come.

There is no cure without research.
Why us
The Foundation has Members who are the same as shareholders in an ordinary company, which means that they can meet and pass resolutions in general meetings that would override decisions of Directors, however Directors have responsibility for the day-to-day management. The Directors originally proposed that 200 Members be registered and in 1977 increased that figure to 1000. The Members comprise the original subscribers; such other persons, companies or corporations as shall be admitted by the Directors; and elected honorary Life Members.

The National Board of Directors comprises a President, two Vice-Presidents (one medical, one lay), a Secretary, a Treasurer, a representative from both the ANZAN and NSA, and up to 13 other directors ensuring at least one representative of each state. The Directors are elected annually at the Annual General Meeting.
