How Is ATHN Funded?

In 2004, the CDC foundation provided funds for the purpose of retaining a consultant to explore the feasibility of ATHN and to oversee the initial planning process.  After ATHN was incorporated, fundraising initiatives were directed toward both not-for-profit organizations and for profit entities.  In early 2007, ATHN received a significant 5-year non-restricted grant from Novo Nordisk that made it possible for ATHN to advance.  As time goes on, we expect that a number of organizations (profit and not-for-profit, private and public) will appreciate the value that ATHN can bring and be willing to fund project specific work going forward.
