Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS THE CDC FOUNDATION? Established by Congress, the CDC Foundation helps the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do more, faster, by forging effective partnerships between CDC and corporations, foundations, organizations and individuals to fight threats to health and safety. The CDC Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity.
WHEN WAS THE FOUNDATION CREATED? In 1992, Congress passed legislation authorizing the creation of an independent, nonprofit foundation to support CDC. A board of directors was elected in 1994, and, in 1995, the board recruited Charles Stokes as executive director. That same year, the CDC Foundation opened its doors for business in the Hurt Building in downtown Atlanta.
WHAT IS THE CDC FOUNDATION’S RELATIONSHIP WITH CDC? The CDC Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization that forges partnerships between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and private-sector organizations. Classified as a 501(c)(3) public charity, the Foundation is the sole entity authorized by Congress to raise private funds in support of the mission and work of CDC. To ensure that the Foundation remains independent from CDC, its founding legislation prohibits the CDC director or other CDC employees from sitting on the Foundation board. However, Foundation leaders work closely with CDC leaders and scientists to ensure that the organization’s overall strategic direction and portfolio of programs and activities have the greatest possible impact for CDC and public health.
WHAT ARE YOUR SOURCES OF FUNDING? As a private 501(c)(3) public charity, the CDC Foundation receives charitable contributions and philanthropic grants from individuals, foundations, corporations, universities, NGOs and other organizations to advance the work of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Unlike many large foundations, the CDC Foundation does not have a large endowment to support our activities. The CDC Foundation builds an administrative fee, typically 16 percent, into each grant or agreement to support administrative costs. Through Congressional authorization, CDC also contributes some funds to the Foundation annually to help cover operational costs. (View the CDC Foundation’s Donor Reports and Financials.) For 14 consecutive years, the CDC Foundation has received the highest, 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, which annually assesses fiscal responsibility and financial health of charitable organizations. Only 1 percent of charities rated have received 14 consecutive 4-star evaluations. https://www.cdcfoundation.org/FAQ

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves, in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."- Fredric Bastiat
