The Baxter International Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Baxter International Inc. Like Baxter, the foundation supports the development of more accessible and affordable healthcare.
Through its grant program, The Baxter International Foundation funds programs or projects that improve the access, quality and cost-effectiveness of direct healthcare services.
Focusing on these priorities, the Foundation makes grants to projects that are expanding access to direct healthcare services to disadvantaged or underserved populations in and near communities throughout the world where significant numbers of Baxter employees live and work.
The Baxter International Foundation includes dental, mental health, substance abuse, and health services to the disabled, domestic violence, sexual assult, and child abuse in its definition of healthcare.
Through its prize programs, the Foundation celebrates excellence in community service and research in the health field. Foundation prizes, including the Foster G. McGaw Prize, are recognized as the highest honors in their fields.
The Foundation also runs a number of programs that support Baxter employees in their personal philanthropic efforts. One of these programs is Dollars for Doers, which makes grants to organizations in the United States where employees volunteer.
In each of these efforts, the Foundation's fundamental purpose is to make a positive and lasting impact on healthcare and the health of communities around the world.
