\nORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW\n\n\nThe END Fund is a leading collaborative philanthropic investment vehicle dedicated to controlling and eliminating neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). NTDs are parasitic and bacterial infectious diseases – including intestinal worms, river blindness, trachoma, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, and visceral leishmaniasis – that affect over 1.65 billion people globally. The END Fund’s vision is to ensure people can live healthy and prosperous lives free of the risk of NTDs and has set out to accomplish this by:\n\n\n- Mobilizing and investing resources for maximum impact, \n- Advocating for innovative, integrated and cost-effective NTD programs; and\n- Facilitating philanthropic and private sector engagement to end these diseases.\n\n\nBy engaging a community of activist-philanthropists and taking a systems approach, the END Fund works in collaboration with governments, local and international NGOs, pharmaceutical companies, and academic partners on the global campaign to control and eliminate NTDs by 2030. \n\n\nSince our founding in 2012 through 2023, with our partners, the END Fund has provided over 1.8 billion treatments for NTDs worth more than $3 billion. In 2023 alone, we delivered more than 270 million NTD treatments and provided over 46 thousand life-changing surgeries. The END Fund works globally in 31 countries, with a primary emphasis in Africa. \n\n\n\n\nYou can learn more about the END Fund here. \n\n\nABOUT THE END FUND’S INVESTOR RELATIONS TEAM\nThe Investor Relations team is the END Fund’s fundraising team, responsible for identifying, mobilizing, and nurturing meaningful and impactful partnerships to advance the END Fund’s mission to end neglected tropical diseases.

\nTHE OPPORTUNITY\nThe American political system is not reflective of the American people.  \n\n\nIt’s no secret that barriers have been created to exclude and marginalize certain communities from being the decision makers in government. \n\n\nWe especially see this at the state and local levels. \n\n\nMore than half of all Americans are millennials or younger, but only 6% of state legislators are 35 or younger. Among state legislators, only 33% are women, 10% are Black, 6% are Latino, and 4% are Asian/Pacific Islander. And only 0.2% of elected officials openly identify as LGBTQIA+.\n\n\nWhen elected officials don’t reflect the people they represent, it undermines the power of people and our democracy.  \n\n\nRun for Something (RFS) is changing what leadership looks like in America by building one of the largest candidate pipelines in progressive politics and bringing those young people into public service. \n\n\nFounded in 2017, RFS has recruited nearly 150,000 young people who want to run for office.\n\n\nThrough their innovative people-first program that treats candidates like people first and political actors second, RFS has helped elect more than 1,000 of them — mostly women and people of color, a quarter of whom identify as LGBTQIA+, and all millennials and Gen Z — to the kinds of state and local offices that make real meaningful change.\n\n\nAbout Run for Something \nRun for Something recruits and supports young, diverse progressives to run for down-ballot races to build long-term sustainable power in all 50 states.  \n\n\nSince launching in 2017, RFS has recruited nearly 150,000 people who want to run for office, endorsed over 3,000 candidates, and won over 1,000 elections.\n\n\nOnce elected, RFS alumni have transformed state and local governments, making housing more affordable, abortion more accessible, and education more equitable. They are the present and future leaders of the Democratic Party and the country. No matter who wins the White House in November, RFS’s work is imperative to the future of democracy and the long-term power-building efforts.\n\n\nAt the same time, RFS has led the sector with an internal culture that prioritizes work-life integration, long-term sustainability of both mission and staff, and diversity, equity, and inclusion, all baked into the core DNA of the team and program.\n\n\nRun for Something’s work is long-term, year-round, and strategic.
