Dear Friends:
I am pleased to share our 2019 annual report.
Since our annual report is released in conjunction with our audited financial reports, the release always comes months after the highlighted events have taken place. This year, more than ever, the work and achievements featured may feel like snapshots from a different era.
The events of 2020 will be recorded as an inflection point in history. Yet, as we reflect on what was accomplished in 2019 and think about all that has continued in the midst of global uncertainty, one message emerges: great things are accomplished when we work together.
The foundation’s impact is achieved through the efforts of our grantees, partners and others, and collaboration is one of our core values. The stories in this 2019 annual report illustrate just how partnerships across disciplines and across sectors generated lasting change for good.
We are honored to work with a diversity of experts – scientists, conservationists, clinicians and policymakers – to design innovative solutions that affect the long-term change we seek. Our 2019 annual report highlights some of the ways these partnerships have and will enable meaningful progress.
Harvey V. Fineberg, M.D., Ph.D.
President
