Edison Foundation

Our Mission

We connect donors with researchers to shed light on the diseases that affect us all. Our approach is founded on three core principles: Importance, Innovation, and Impact.

Importance

• We fund research targeting major causes of illness and death worldwide—including coronary heart disease (CHD), colon cancer, and Parkinson’s disease. These conditions affect millions. We are committed to supporting breakthroughs where they are needed most.

Innovation

• We identify distinguished individuals pursuing bold, innovative approaches that may be difficult to fund through traditional sources such as NIH. By providing early seed funding for proof-of-concept experiments, we help accelerate the path from idea to discovery.

Impact

• We support research with the potential for direct, meaningful change in how coronary heart disease (CHD), colon cancer, and Parkinson’s disease are prevented and treated.

When you donate, 100% of your contribution goes directly to research projects, helping scientists take the critical first steps toward breakthroughs.
