The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is a leading health care nonprofit and driving force in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis. For more than 70 years, the Foundation has pioneered new approaches to treating this rare genetic disease and supporting people with it. Guided by a multi-year strategy and deep partnership with the CF community, we are focused on meeting today’s urgent challenges and advancing tomorrow’s scientific breakthroughs.
The Foundation has a strong track record of impact. Nearly every CF therapy available today was made possible with our support. CF was once considered a childhood disease with limited survival into adulthood. Today, adults with the disease are living longer, fuller lives. But there is no cure for CF — and although treatments available today can significantly improve health, many continue to experience complications and infections. That’s why we are driven by a deep sense of urgency and commitment to innovation, from research and care to advocacy and support.
Headquartered in Bethesda, MD — just outside of Washington, D.C. — the Foundation also operates a research lab in Lexington, MA and dozens of chapters around the country. Our teams offer a variety of in-person and remote roles — all united by our mission to find a cure and build a brighter future for everyone with CF.
Our impact is only possible because of our dedicated employees. When you join the Foundation, you join a team of talented individuals from all backgrounds who are passionate about making a difference every day.
The Foundation is committed to fostering a mission-driven workplace environment that attracts and supports talented individuals from all backgrounds. We are a donor-supported nonprofit, an accredited charity of the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance, and a recipient of Candid’s Platinum Seal of Transparency.
