The CDC Foundation is an American nonprofit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia. Its purpose is to “advance the mission” of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The United States Congress authorized the CDC to accept “external gifts” from industry and private parties in 1983, and in 1992 passed legislation for the creation of a nonprofit foundation to encourage relationships between industry and the agency. Throughout its several decades of operations, the CDC Foundation has been accused of operating as a “passthrough organization” for pharmaceutical funding.
In January 2010, the CDC Foundation created the Viral Hepatitis Action Coalition.
On September 23, 2020, the CDC Foundation launched the Community COVID Coalition.
Bill Cosby is a former director for the foundation.
