CDC Mutual Aid Network

We Did It! And We're Just Getting Started

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we've reached our $100,000 goal! This milestone means direct financial support for dozens of displaced CDC public health workers when they needed it most.

While we have made great progress this year, the need for assistance continues to grow. We've seen a dramatic increase of over 800% in applications since August from former and furloughed CDC staff struggling to cover basic expenses. 

Every day, more public health professionals who protected our communities are reaching out for help. This is why we're raising our 2025 fundraising goal to $250,000 to meet this surge in need and ensure no one falls through the cracks.

To everyone who has donated, shared our mission, and stood with public health workers—thank you. Your support has already made a tangible difference in people's lives. See some success stories of CDC workers whose lives have been touched by your support.

The work continues, and we hope you'll stay with us.
