About Us
Established by Congress, the CDC Foundation helps the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) do more, faster, by forging public-private partnerships to support CDC’s 24/7 work to save lives and protect people from health and safety threats. The CDC Foundation annually manages more than 200 CDC-led programs in the United States and in 58 countries around the world. Since 1995 the CDC Foundation, which is the sole entity authorized by Congress to raise funds on CDC’s behalf, has launched more than 700 programs and raised $400 million to advance the life-saving work of CDC.
