The U.S. government has terminated nearly every federal grant supporting vital health research at Harvard Chan School, creating an unprecedented budget crisis. 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.
