The Termeer Foundation

Building on the bold legacy of Henri Termeer, who pioneered groundbreaking treatments for rare diseases, The Termeer Foundation is a nonprofit organization focused on connecting life science innovators and catalyzing the creation of new medicines. The Termeer Foundation believes many healthcare challenges can be solved through the mentoring, support, communication and shared experience provided through the network. 

The Termeer Fellows Program was established in 2018 to support first-time Founders, Presidents, or CEOs of life science organizations who value being part of a community that provides both mentoring and peer-to-peer support. Every year, a new class of Henri Termeer Fellows joins the Network. The Termeer Foundation has awarded 23 fellowships over the past four years (2018- 2021) and looks forward to growing its impact in the years to come. 

The Termeer Foundation is a relatively new social good organization, hiring its first Executive Director in early 2021. We envision a culture of innovation, radical candor, curiosity, trust and respect, where all team members are valued for their work and differences, and growth is supported (and expected) along unique paths.
