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.

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. The Primary Mission of the Foundation is led by the President.

Secondary Mission

The Secondary Mission of The Hartwell Foundation is to fund special projects that will directly benefit the health and well-being of children of the United States. Funds are distributed at the discretion of the Chairman,  who follows the overall Principles of the Foundation.
