Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives by funding research and drug development, partnering with the CF community, and advancing high-quality, specialized care.

• We fund more innovative, groundbreaking cystic fibrosis research than any other organization in the world.
• We provide expert care for people with CF through our nationwide network of accredited care centers.
• We help people with cystic fibrosis and their families get the tools and support they need to lead healthy lives today.

We are fueled by a dedicated group of scientists, caregivers, donors, volunteers, and people with CF and their families who are united by a common goal: to find a cure for this devastating disease and help those with CF live longer, healthier lives.

We are driven by a dream that one day, not one person will lose a life, child, sibling, parent, or friend to cystic fibrosis, and we are determined to succeed.

A few decades ago, most people with CF didn’t live long enough to attend elementary school. Today, people with the disease are graduating from high school and college, pursuing careers, getting married, and starting families of their own.
