$50 MILLION GIFT TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE

October 2023

The Anschutz Foundation announced in June that it is giving $50 million to support the Anschutz Acceleration Initiative, a program to advance cutting-edge healthcare innovations that are poised to reach patients within the next three to five years. The initiative will fund research and innovative approaches that range from preventative care and technology to help scientists develop the next generation of therapies and healthcare solutions. This could be through prevention or population health, innovative treatments and diagnostics, novel therapeutic development, medical devices and digital health technologies or other approaches that will transform lives.

“We share a vision with CU Anschutz to address the most complex medical problems and move them forward as quickly as possible,” said Christian P. Anschutz, president of The Anschutz Foundation.
