Many factors can improve our overall health and well-being even before we get sick: access to preventative care, proper nutrition, clean water, and health care awareness initiatives. Additionally, researchers, typically relying on grants, work to find cures and better treatments for diseases and chronic conditions that we don’t yet have. In the meantime, the nonprofit community addresses these issues and offsets the consequences by supporting those battling critical illnesses, coping with chronic medical conditions, combatting substance abuse, and living with disabilities.  

CFC-participating charities act as liaisons between labs, scientists, governments, and communities, helping the public to have equitable access to the latest healthcare options. 

Here are a few examples of how when you GIVE HAPPY through the CFC, you can GIVE HEALTH through charities working in the global health & research cause area: 

  • Host family members of patients in comfortable accommodations near hospitals.  

  • Distribute simple solutions like mosquito nets to communities with prevalent malaria.  

  • Work to find cures for common diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s.
