Support Harvard Chan School
Philanthropy powers research and education
New federal policies are profoundly disrupting the decades-old partnership between the U.S. government and research institutions like Harvard Chan School. These policies threaten to severely restrict federal research funding for scientists working on public health, creating an unprecedented financial crisis for our School.
As we navigate these challenges, philanthropy is essential to powering our research and educational programs. Harvard Chan School needs your support to continue our mission: improving health and advancing equity so all people can thrive.
Our alumni and friends provide critical resources to educate the next generation of public health leaders; empower faculty to pursue groundbreaking research; and translate those insights into real-world solutions to global health challenges.
