Milbank Memorial Fund  

Definition

  • For most of its history, the Milbank Memorial Fund has collaborated with decision makers in the public and private sectors to use the best available evidence and experience in making policy for healthcare and population health. Its founders, Elizabeth Milbank Anderson-who provided the endowment in increments between 1905 and 1921-and Albert G. Milbank-who led the board from 1905 until his death in 1949-dedicated the fund to devising effective policy to improve the well-being of people, especially those with low incomes.
