In January 1993, the FXB Foundation established the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at the Harvard School of Public Health through a $20 million donation to Harvard University. The FXB Foundation's donation was the largest gift ever received by the Harvard School of Public Health. The donation also went towards the construction of the François-Xavier Bagnoud building on Huntington Avenue in Boston's Longwood Medical Area, and the François-Xavier Bagnoud Professorship in Health and Human Rights at the Harvard School of Public Health.
