The CDC Foundation supports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by enhancing public health initiatives, particularly in response to COVID-19. It focuses on empowering community-based organizations (CBOs) that are integral to local communities, helping them spread important COVID-19 prevention information and ensuring fair access to vaccines. The Foundation collaborates with a variety of clients, including public health agencies and community groups, primarily in the United States. Its business model relies on mobilizing donations and resources from the private sector to fund public health programs, such as educational webinars and technical assistance for CBOs. Unlike many organizations, the CDC Foundation emphasizes partnerships and community engagement to effectively address health challenges. Its goal is to improve public health outcomes by ensuring that vital health resources and messages reach underserved populations.
