Children’s Health Initiative
The Catalytic Impact Foundation’s Children’s Health Initiative exists to accelerate discoveries for children with unmet medical needs. We direct catalytic philanthropy toward unlocking the full life-changing potential of biomedical research. Strategic investments today will improve lives for generations.
The need for impact is clear. We must change the realities of childhood disease and mental health.
Cancer is the
#1
leading cause of death by disease for children.
Only
6
drugs were approved to treat childhood cancer in the past 40 years.
Suicide is the
#2
leading cause of death among youth aged 10-24.
Around the world,
400,000
children are diagnosed with a form of cancer each year.
1 in 3
youth in the United States have a diagnosed mental illness.
70%
of youth who need treatment for mental health issues cannot access it.
Children facing devastating medical needs deserve better, more tolerable treatments and cures. You can help bring these discoveries within reach.
Imagine if your donation could help create a therapy that receives FDA approval and is available to children all around the world. And then what if your gift did that again, and again, and again?
Your donation to Catalytic Impact Foundation becomes an investment in emerging life science companies, moving science closer to treatments.
When we are successful, our fund grows, our portfolio of investments grows, and more kids can access the cures and treatments they need to live healthier, longer lives. We are grateful for your support.
