What We Do
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world’s leader in the search for a cure for people with cystic fibrosis, a rare, genetic disease in which a defective gene causes a thick buildup of mucus in the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. The buildup of mucus can lead to extensive lung damage, respiratory failure, malnutrition, liver disease, and gastrointestinal issues, among many other complications.
Recognized globally, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has led the way in the fight against cystic fibrosis, fueling extraordinary medical and scientific progress. Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments — an unprecedented number in a short span of time — and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Thanks to this work, the life expectancy of someone born with CF has doubled in the last 30 years.
We are driven by a dream that one day every person with cystic fibrosis will have the chance to live a long, healthy life. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis and a life free from the burden of this disease.
While our headquarters are in Bethesda, Maryland, we have additional offices in more than 60 locations across the country with positions in fundraising, marketing, digital, information technology, legal, finance and more – all supporting our mission to cure cystic fibrosis.
At the Foundation, we are committed to creating an environment that is free from discrimination and provides a rewarding experience for all members of our team. We strive to be an organization where everyone is welcomed and where talented individuals from all backgrounds have the opportunity to thrive.
