Through our Building Community donations, we work hand-in-hand with local partners to address social determinants of health. Through our donations, we are a catalyst for change in the communities where we live and work.
Building Community Donations Pillars
Our Building Community Donation program is anchored in our pillars of Science and Innovation, Access and Health Equity, and People and Culture.
Through our Science and Innovation donations, we build a pipeline of diverse talent for future innovation. Grants support equitable K-12+ STEM education, experiences and opportunities.
Through our Access and Health Equity donations, we advance holistic community health. Grants support safety net organizations providing food, shelter, healthcare and other social services.
Through our People and Culture donations, we promote civic engagement to create an inclusive and sustainable future. Grants support regional public-private partnerships, economic and environmental sustainability, and youth leadership programs.
Our community partners provide vital services and address immediate needs while working towards dismantling the causes of inequalities in the past, present and future. By fostering the next generation of scientists, doctors and researchers, strengthening social services and promoting civic engagement for an inclusive and sustainable future, we advance in our mission to achieve a healthier world for all people.
