With each new drug discovery, Gilead seeks to improve the care of millions of patients living with life-threatening diseases around the world, including regions where access to medicine is limited or does not yet exist.

Gilead recognizes that patients and communities often face challenges in accessing the best possible care, and we know that passion for scientific discovery alone — and that Gilead alone — cannot solve these challenges. This is why, through our grantee programs, Gilead supports patient advocates, healthcare professionals and nonprofit groups that work tirelessly in local communities to improve people’s lives day after day.

Gilead supports organizations that work across all our therapeutic areas of focus, partnering to advance the goals of our giving mission.
