The Milbank Memorial Fund is an endowed national foundation that supports nonpartisan analysis, study, and research on significant issues in health policy. The Fund often makes available the results of its work in pamphlets and books, as well as publishing the Milbank Quarterly.

Most of the Fund's work is collaborative with decision-makers in the public and private sectors. The Fund currently emphasizes work in clinical policy (caring for patients), organizing and financing policy (governing the health system and paying for care), and public health policy (community responsibility for health). The Fund's projects are not supported by grants in the traditional sense. Instead, individuals and partner institutions join the Fund in contributing time and other resources.
