250 years of progress. Your gift keeps it moving.
American life expectancy has roughly doubled over the last two and a half centuries, not because of one breakthrough but because generations of people decided public health was worth building and protecting.
CDC Foundation is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization and your donation is tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law. To claim a donation as a deduction on your U.S. taxes, please keep your email donation receipt as your official record. We'll send it to you upon successful completion of your donation.
Why This Matters
Vaccines. Clean water. Safer roads and workplaces. Healthier mothers and babies. None of this happened by accident. Public health tends to be invisible when it's working, which makes it easy to take for granted. Right now, funding and infrastructure for this work are under real pressure, at a moment when the progress of the last 250 years shouldn't be treated as guaranteed. Your gift helps CDC Foundation keep this work moving forward.
Every gift, at any level, helps fund the ongoing work of prevention and protection.
Thank you for being a vital part of our mission.
