How we fund this work
Donations fund the common good, not privileges.
The HDS platform is made available to its users at no charge, and our services are offered on the same terms to every partner, whether they donate or not. Donations bring no privileged access to the platform, to data, or to the Foundation's governance.
HDS derives no revenue from patient data or from access requests. Donations and grants pay for the consent, compliance and security infrastructure that keeps health data a common good: available at no charge to every patient, open to research, independent of any single funder. It is the donations of the people who use HDS that let us maintain a high quality of service. Request our 2026 White Paper for the detail of the model.
