More information
The National Foundation for the Deaf is a non-profit, non-government organisation. Our work is funded by the generosity of the New Zealand public, through donations and bequests. There are an estimated 450,000 New Zealanders affected by deafness or hearing impairment. This makes it the largest disability group in the country. We focus on breaking down barriers for people with hearing loss. We promote the appreciation of good sound. And we encourage all New Zealanders to protect and preserve their hearing. The NFD (National Foundation for the Deaf) is an incorporated society with six member groups. Together, we support the interests of nearly half a million deaf and hearing impaired New Zealanders. Much of our work revolves around identifying and dealing with issues that affect people with hearing impairment.
