The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation's mission is to cure Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases. For over fifty years, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation has addressed the unique needs of the IBD community. Our goal is for all IBD patients to achieve remission (reduction or disappearance of disease symptoms) as we search for cures. Our current focus areas are outlined in our 2021-2024 Strategic Plan, found at http://www.crohnscolitisfoundation.org/about/strategic-plan. The Foundation is the leading advocate for patients and the hub of the IBD community - which includes patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, volunteers, donors, commercial partners, and other non-profits. Recognizing the complex nature of IBD, the Foundation provides programs that address the unique concerns and needs of patients and their caregivers. From comprehensive disease education and support programs to advocating for policies that protect and improve patient access to care, our programs support patients at every disease stage and walk of life and bring the IBD community together to work towards shared goals.
