Based in Geneva, the WHO Foundation is an independent grant-making foundation that sets out to protect the health and well-being of everyone in every part of the world, working alongside the World Health Organization. It supports donors, scientists, experts, implementers, advocates from every country, in rapidly finding new and better solutions to the most pressing global health challenges of today and tomorrow.

The Foundation targets evidence-based initiatives with the potential to support WHO’s contributions towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 (To ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all). It is focused on reducing health risks, averting pandemics, better managing diseases, and creating stronger health systems. It tackles these areas by building awareness and supporting its partners, including WHO, so that every life is invested in and the world ready for any health emergency that may arise.
