About Us:

Cystic Fibrosis Canada (CF Canada) is a national charitable not-for-profit corporation and sixty years after the launch of Cystic Fibrosis Canada, things have changed dramatically although we remain one of the world’s top three charitable organizations committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis (CF).

Over that span, we’ve had numerous ground-breaking achievements and reached historic milestones. And we are now living in a very different cystic fibrosis world, one that brings great promise for people living with the disease. Highly effective CFTR modulator therapies now exist. More than ever before, lives are being changed by research, information and support.

Our vision is a world without cystic fibrosis. We go further to help all people living with cystic fibrosis by raising funds to support world-class research without regard to the researcher’s locale. We support high quality individualized CF care in all areas of Canada, and we promote public awareness of CF while advocating for access to drugs for all those who need them. CF Canada has invested more than $244 million in leading research, innovation, and care. As a result, Canadians with cystic fibrosis have one of the highest median survival rates in the world. CF Canada dedicates its efforts in four key areas: Healthcare, Research, Advocacy, and the Canadian CF Registry.
