The Max Foundation

Mission

The Max Foundation's mission is to accelerate health equity, one patient at a time.

Description

The Max Foundation (Max) is a nonprofit global health organization that envisions a world in which all people can access high-impact medicines, where geography is not destiny, and where everyone can strive for health with dignity and hope. We do this by delivering medication, technology, and services to patients facing cancer and other critical illnesses, focusing our energy on those no one else is helping.

Each day, 2 billion people around the globe are unable to get basic medication due to lack of access in their communities. At Max, we provide lifesaving medication and patient services to over 34,000 patients in more than 77 low- and middle-income countries, for free, for as long as they need our support. Our work is supported by over 500 partner physicians, 60 partner patient organizations, and over 380 hospitals, clinics, global NGOs, and affiliates. Since our inception, we have supported more than 100,000 patients - some for over 20 years.

Together, we can prevent unnecessary suffering and premature death today. We believe that because we can, we must, and we hope you will join us in maximizing our impact.
