Congressional nonprofit mobilizing philanthropic and corporate resources for CDC's public health mission
CDC Foundation is a 1,001–5,000-person nonprofit authorized by Congress to channel philanthropic and private-sector funding into CDC's disease control and emergency response programs across 90+ countries. The organization's tech stack—SAS, R, Stata, Python, TensorFlow, Snowflake, AWS—reveals a data-science-heavy operation focused on epidemiological modeling and surveillance. Active hiring is concentrated in healthcare (19 roles) and data (6 roles) with accelerating velocity, and current projects center on workforce acceleration, public health data system modernization, and drug overdose information sharing—all pointing to infrastructure and analytics bottlenecks as the organization scales its program footprint.
CDC Foundation raises philanthropic capital and mobilizes corporate partnerships to support the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's mission to protect public health and security. The foundation has raised over $2 billion since 1995, funding more than 1,300 programs addressing chronic diseases, infectious diseases, and emergency health threats. Last year alone, CDC Foundation managed hundreds of active programs across the United States and more than 90 countries. Operations span epidemiology, disease surveillance, emergency response coordination, and evidence-based prevention program design. The organization is headquartered in Atlanta, GA.
CDC Foundation uses SAS, R, Stata, Python, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Snowflake, AWS, Salesforce, and Tableau for epidemiological modeling, data analysis, and program management across its global operations.
Current initiatives include a public health data systems modernization project, enterprise data platform proof of concept, drug overdose information sharing systems, comprehensive drowning surveillance, and a workforce acceleration program across 90+ countries.
