Grants and Donations

GRANTS AND DONATIONS PROCEDURE

In efforts to ensure that our Grants and Donations have a greater impact and directly benefit patients, we must be more focused and strategic in our review process. AbbVie will support initiatives that promote health equity, delivery of care, and improved outcomes and access for patients.

Your Grant or Donation application must be submitted at least 90 days prior to your project’s start date. If your start date is less than 90 days, please contact [email protected] to obtain a pdf version of the application form.

AbbVie is not expected to receive a tangible benefit/business outcome. Our Grants and Donations policy does not allow the involvement of a business outcome.
