The Commonwealth Fund was established in 1918 in the U.S. (one of the first private foundations started by a woman philanthropist, Anna M. Harkness) to ‘enhance the common good’. Its mission today is to promote a high-performing health care system that achieves better access, improved quality, and greater efficiency, particularly for society’s most vulnerable. The Fund’s international program in health policy includes the Harkness Fellowships.
