Rationale
Immunization safety has become an increasingly prominent issue as worldwide national immunization programs mature. In this new era, vaccine safety assessment has to be placed on the most rigorous scientific basis. Globally accepted standards of vaccine safety assessment are a fundamental requirement for an acceptable international assessment of immunization safety. This is what the Brighton Collaboration and its hundreds of dedicated scientists around the world are giving their time, input and energy for.
However, the achievement of the Collaboration's mission requires a minimum of financial resources. At this point the Foundation can help.
The Foundation was established to connect outside partners and resources with the Brighton Collaboration's scientists. Such resources can help develop strategies to substantially enhance the Brighton Collaboration’s impact.
The Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization, which can accept funding, and by using these valuable assets responsibly, will create strategies that help donors and the Brighton Collaboration's scientists achieve their common goals.

The Foundation is directly supervised by the Swiss government. Its annual technical and financial reports are audited by an independent international auditing organization, accepted by the Swiss supervising authority.
