The Baxter International Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Baxter International Inc., helps organizations increase access to healthcare in the United States and around the world. The foundation, established in 1981, began to focus exclusively on increasing access to healthcare in 2002 - particularly for the disadvantaged and underserved - in and near communities where Baxter employees live and work.
In 2006, the Foundation awarded $4.2 million to support the health and well-being of communities worldwide where Baxter employees live and work. During the year, the Foundation supported nearly 70 organizations in 20 countries.More..
