The Health and Climate Foundation aims to help eliminate epidemics of climate-sensitive diseases.  New solutions are needed to help societies cope with the public health impacts of global climate change.  Developing countries are in the front line coping with climate-sensitive diseases, such as malaria, meningitis, plague, onchocerciasis, and rift valley fever, amongst many others.  We are helping the health and climate communities work together more effectively; we are supporting education and training at the community level to make societies more resilient and we are helping health workers to acquire the tools to anticipate and reduce the risks of major epidemics. 

The problems seem at times overwhelming and there is a growing need for resources to improve public health and thereby protect the lives and livelihoods of people everywhere.  One challenge is to understand and deal with the health consequences of climate change – another equal challenge is to secure the funding to carry out the work that is needed. 

HCF’s success is made possible by the financial support of individuals and organizations that have the vision to see the role that the foundation can play in helping societies’ understand and take action in response to the public health challenges of the twenty-first century.  We are committed to using more than 80% of the money we raise from individuals, corporations, private foundations, and government agencies to support our research and public education activities.

We invite you to become a donor to HCF and join in our efforts to improve public health and reduce the burden of climate-sensitive diseases worldwide.  There are a number of ways to contribute: by making a gift to our Annual Fund or by joining one of our principal membership groups, the HCF President’s Circle or the HCF Council or by endowing research and educational activities for generations to come.

Annual Fund contributions can be made through outright tax-deductible gifts of cash or appreciated securities. Gifts of stock can provide much-needed support for HCF while offering financial benefits to the donor. All Annual Fund donors receive complimentary copies of our quarterly magazine, Health and Climate; invitations to events; and updates on current HCF research. Individuals who contribute $100 or more are also acknowledged in our Annual Report.
