Learn more about how to navigate the Genentech Funding Request System (GFRS) here. Below, you’ll find brief video tutorials and one-page tip sheets to help you submit smoothly.
Due to our 2025 year-end close process, the Genentech Funding Request System will stop accepting charitable requests at 12:00 AM PT, November 27, 2025, and will reopen for requests on Friday, January 2, 2026.
This temporary closure affects Health, Patient, and Science Focused Giving, Education Focused Giving Graduate and Post-Graduate, Education Focused Giving K-12, and Community Giving requests. Independent Medical Education and Independent Co-pay Assistance Foundation will continue to accept requests during this time.
It is important to note that the Genentech Funding Request System cannot accept requests less than 60 days prior to the event/program start date. Therefore, once the system re-opens, we will not accept charitable contribution requests for an event or program occurring before March 3, 2026.
Pending charitable requests with event/program dates beginning in January 2026 or beyond may receive final decisions in the new year.
