Join us in building a healthier, more just world

When you give to the Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health (CIGH), you fuel catalytic global health research, career-defining educational programs, and transformative international partnerships. You support work that builds a healthier, more just, and more secure future for all, regardless of birthplace.

Enabling innovative, sustainable solutions

Emerging infections and a changing climate remind us of our interconnection. Giving to global health is an investment in our shared wellbeing and humanity.

Sustaining this work requires commitment—particularly now, as global health stands at a crossroads.

Based at one of the world’s finest medical schools and situated in the innovation capital of Silicon Valley, CIGH pairs rigorous academic medicine with Stanford’s expertise to tackle old problems with new solutions—and the entrepreneurial speed to deploy those solutions effectively.
