https://www.fusfoundation.org/ The Focused Ultrasound Foundation was created in 2006 to improve the lives of millions of people with serious medical disorders by accelerating the development and adoption of focused ultrasound. Focused ultrasound is a rapidly evolving, noninvasive therapeutic technology that is transforming the treatment of many medical disorders. Every day without it translates into unnecessary death, disability, and suffering for countless individuals. The Focused Ultrasound Foundation is working to provide patients with this noninvasive, life-changing treatment option in the shortest time possible. Based in Charlottesville, Virginia, the Foundation is a tax-exempt, high-performance, entrepreneurial service organization with a global reach. We seek to leverage our trusted third party position through contributing financial and human resources to foster collaboration, to build knowledge and to streamline the process and overcome barriers. The Foundation is on the leading edge of the venture philanthropy and social entrepreneurship movements and has become a model of how donor funding can be used to bridge the gap between laboratory research and widespread patient treatment. In 2018, the Foundation was recognized as one of America’s 10 Best Medical Research Organizations by Charity Navigator. Our vision is that focused ultrasound will be used worldwide to improve the quality of life and longevity of millions of patients with serious medical conditions in the shortest time possible. In that aim, the Foundation’s mission is to accelerate the development of new applications of focused ultrasound and its widespread adoption as a standard of care.
