The Genentech Foundation funds organizations that support Health Science Education, Patient Education and Advocacy, and Community Support.

The Genentech Foundation is a U.S.-based, private charitable foundation that was established in 2002 by Genentech, a leading biotechnology company that discovers, develops, manufactures and commercializes biotherapeutics for significant unmet medical needs. A majority of Genentech's giving is through corporate grants. We recommend that you review the "Charitable Contributions" content on our Corporate Giving site to become familiar with the types of funding provided through Genentech's corporate grants programs.

The Genentech Foundation will consider solicited and unsolicited grant requests from nonprofit organizations that are located in the United States. In addition, the Foundation will consider requests for funding from governmental organizations located in the United States where the purpose of the grant is to support a charitable, educational or scientific purpose. Thus, eligible grantees may include public elementary and secondary schools, as well as public colleges and universities, public libraries, and public hospitals.
