In 2006, GSK supported US organizations from Corporate and the Foundation with grants totaling more than $15.3 million.
Corporate funding guidelines
Organizations based in the United States that have a 501(c)(3) IRS designation and that meet GSK's corporate criteria for funding may complete an application and forward it to us. Please review the guidelines before submitting an application for a corporate grant.
Requests for US-based community partnerships with nonprofit organizations should address issues in one of four general areas:
- Education—science education, K-12 literacy, teacher professional development
- Health and Human Services—child health or prevention and access to healthcare for women related to breast or gynecologic cancers, targeting the needs of underserved and diverse populations
- Arts and Culture—local organizations in the Greater Philadelphia and RTP areas, based on local needs, focusing on public school educational outreach
- Civic and Community—local organizations in the Greater Philadelphia and RTP areas, based on local needs
As a matter of policy, grants are not provided for general operating expenses or capital building costs, and they are not made to individuals. Grants are not given to political, religious, fraternal, profit-making, discriminatory, hobby-oriented, or tax-subsidized organizations. Funding for the arts and civic programs is concentrated exclusively in the Greater Philadelphia and Research Triangle Park areas where our employees live and work.
