The Gilead Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, endowed by Gilead Sciences, Inc.
Vision & Mission
Vision: A neighbor in the community; a citizen in society.
Mission: We strive for health prosperity for all. We create spheres of impact – in our company, in the community, in society – by encouraging a culture of giving, engaging with local communities and exploring innovative approaches to complex social issues.
Our Support
The COVID-19 pandemic amplified how connected we are as a global society – and the widespread impact of health and justice disparities. Through the Gilead Foundation’s three pillars – Giving Together Program, Building Community Donations and the Creating Possible Fund – we create a more equitable and prosperous world for all.
Pillars of Giving
Giving Together
We match employees’ donations to the causes they care most about.
Through our Giving Together program, we encourage a culture of giving by matching Gilead employee contributions to eligible organizations and collaborating with our employee resource groups.
Building Community
We contribute to the local communities where we live and work.
Through our Building Community donations, we help build healthy communities by supporting local organizations focused on STEM education, social services and environmental sustainability.
Creating Possible Fund
We seed innovative approaches to complex social issues.
Through our Creating Possible Fund, we address the social determinants of health, with an emphasis on accelerating education equity.
