Through our venture philanthropy model, we provide early stage funding to companies to develop breakthrough drugs for adults and children with cystic fibrosis.

Learn about our focus for 2020-2024 as we advance our path to a cure, meet emerging challenges in care, and explore new ways to partner with and support the CF community.

Engaging with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies is essential to reaching our goal of a cure for all people with cystic fibrosis. These principles and standards for Industry interactions safeguard our independence, objectivity, and ability to make decisions that are in the best interest of people with CF.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation would like to recognize and thank the following members of the CF community for providing their time, expertise, and insights to inform the content on this site.

With the opportunity to broaden our scope, we are opening up everything we do to people living with CF -- and we want to hear from you.

For three years, the Adult Advisory Council has been leading the way in helping the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation reach out to adults with CF. Our work as a council led to the formation of the Community Partnerships department at the Foundation and a formalized Peer-to-Peer Mentoring Program, which is being piloted in 12 CF care centers, with more to come.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has an attendance policy for all Foundation events, meetings, and offices to preserve the health and well-being of all people, including people with cystic fibrosis, by reducing the risk of getting and spreading dangerous germs.
 

When we set out to create the Foundation's new website, there was a lot we wanted to accomplish. Our goal was a modern, visually compelling CFF.org that provides more helpful information for the millions of people who visit each year. But we wanted to do something much more, too.
