Who we are
The Elsevier Foundation advances inclusive research and health by increasing participation from under-resourced communities. We act as a catalyst for inclusive partnerships that accelerate innovative, early-stage interventions with a strong proof of concept. Our goal is to help partners build evidence, attract additional funding, scale successful approaches and contribute to lasting systemic change.
We believe that a lack of inclusion in research and healthcare is a major barrier to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Addressing it requires collaboration, evidence-based action and measurable progress. Everything we support is grounded in rigorous evaluation, strong governance and deep engagement with partners and stakeholders.
Our approach focuses on:
- Supporting early-stage impact makers — individuals and organizations driving innovative solutions
- Enabling scale and sustainability through funder, partner and alumni networks
- Leveraging Elsevier’s global expertise, networks and employee engagement to amplify impact
Our values guide this work. We are inclusive, collaborative, evidence-based, innovative and committed to long-term sustainability.
