Creating a Better Future Annual Report 2019 Our Core Values
CREATING A BETTER FUTURE ANNUAL REPORT 2019 OUR CORE VALUES The Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) improves the diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life of people affected by primary immunodeficiency (PI) through fostering a community empowered by advocacy, education, and research. Our core values are inclusion, integrity, and innovation. Inclusion can only occur when everyone within our community and beyond has the opportunity to belong, to be heard, to be valued. To uphold integrity, it’s critically important that we are trustworthy stewards for the PI community, putting their livelihood first. We will embrace challenges head-on with new solutions and ways to strengthen the PI community through innovation. In addition, we commit to serving our constituents with transparency, trust, and compassion. The Immune Deficiency Foundation is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We are rare and we are powerful. Like the stripes of a zebra, no two people are the same, and at IDF, we celebrate this uniqueness every day. An inclusive, diverse, and fair workplace makes our community more powerful. At IDF, we build communities and programs for people living with PI. It’s through these services, that they can connect with other individuals, families, and healthcare professionals who are living and working with PI. In 2019, we implemented initiatives to foster relationships within the community, and provide rich and accurate information and resources to thousands. We helped advance research and worked collaboratively with expert clinicians from across the country to better understand patient experiences and improve outcomes. All those living with PI continue to rely on IDF for information and support, which is why we’ve made the commitment to ensure a better future for generations to come.
