CDC Foundation

About CDC Foundation

CDC Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization created by Congress to mobilize philanthropic and private-sector resources in support of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s health protection mission. It establishes public-private partnerships, manages grants and programs, and channels external funding to accelerate CDC’s work on emerging health threats, chronic disease prevention and global health security. The foundation operates transparently, collaborates with corporations, foundations and individuals, and provides strategic guidance and fiscal management so CDC can rapidly deploy evidence-based interventions, strengthen surveillance systems and address health equity gaps across communities nationwide and worldwide.
