IMPORTANT NOTICE

Due to our 2023 year-end close process, the Genentech Funding Request System will stop accepting charitable requests at 12:00AM PT, Friday, November 24 and will reopen for requests on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.

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. Independent Medical Education and the Independent Co-Payment Assistance Foundation will continue to accept requests during this time.

Featured Fund: The Genentech Health Equity & Diversity in STEM Innovation Fund

The Health Equity & Diversity in STEM Innovation Fund, established in 2019, is a biennial fund designed to catalyze novel solutions that improve equity in clinical research, health care delivery, and the scientific and medical workforce. It is also one mechanism for advancing Genentech's ambitious Diversity & Inclusion goals by addressing the critical challenges that impact our industry's ability to innovate on behalf of patients.

About the Fund:

  • Prioritizes applications that demonstrate principles of justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion in the design of their projects, as well as efforts led by People of Color and that embrace deep partnership and power-sharing with historically marginalized communities.
  • Since launch in 2019, the Fund has awarded $21 million to 61 grantees nationwide.
