CDC Foundation provides about 20% of CDC total funding, corporate "gifts" with no Congressional oversight
As a private 501(c)(3) public charity, the CDC Foundation receives charitable contributions and philanthropic grants from individuals, foundations, corporations, universities, NGOs and other organizations to advance the work of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Unlike many large foundations, the CDC Foundation does not have a large endowment to support our activities. The CDC Foundation builds an administrative fee, typically 16 percent, into each grant or agreement to support administrative costs. Through Congressional authorization, CDC also contributes some funds to the Foundation annually to help cover operational costs. ( View the CDC Foundation’s Donor Reports and Financials.) For 15 consecutive years, the CDC Foundation has received the highest, 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, which annually assesses fiscal responsibility and financial health of charitable organizations. Only 1 percent of charities rated have received 15 consecutive 4-star evaluations.
