About Us

Organization Description

Arnold Ventures is a philanthropy working to maximize opportunity and minimize injustice.

Our health care portfolio seeks to lower health care spending while ensuring and enhancing access to affordable, high-quality care. We prioritize four objectives to achieve these goals: lower prescription drug prices, lower excessive commercial sector prices charged by providers, reduce low-value and potentially harmful care, and improve care for people with complex care needs.

To achieve our goals, we invest in research, policy development, technical assistance and advocacy, and visibility and communications.

Any programs or initiatives you want to highlight?

Our Drug Prices team is working to lower drug prices by focusing on evidence-based solutions aimed at the key drivers of high drug pricing and spending: patent abuses and anti-competitive behaviors; market distortions; and high launch prices and unjustified price increases. This team is also focused on ensuring that FDA approval incentivizes innovation by using clinically meaningful evidence based on patient outcomes and requiring that trial data be publicly available and comparable across products.
