Primary Mission

The Primary Mission of the Hartwell Foundation is to grant awards to individuals for innovative and cutting-edge biomedical applied research that potentially benefit children. The individuals and children should be citizens of the United States. The general aim is to provide funds for early stage research projects that have not yet qualified for funding from traditional sources.

Principle

The purpose of the Hartwell Foundation is to inspire innovation and achievement in all programs we support. Philanthropy is a serious responsibility. Our approach is to be unique, selective, and thorough. We insist that recipients utilize funds efficiently and responsibly. We provide an opportunity for those we support to make a difference, and to realize their hopes and dreams.
