Our Vision
Creating healthier global communities.
Our Mission
Abbott Fund invests in creative ideas that promote science, expand access to health care, and strengthen
communities worldwide. In partnership with others, we strive
to make a lasting impact on people’s lives and encourage
others to action.
Our Areas of Funding
Established in 1951 Abbott Fund is a private 501(c)3
not-for-profit organization in the state of Illinois and is
funded solely by Abbott, a global broad-based health care company. Our approach is to
support programs that are results-driven and make a lasting
impact on people’s lives. We support and
partner with a broad range of organizations, including
community-based charities, academic institutions, medical and
health professional associations, international relief
agencies and not-for-profit organizations. Many of these
programs are helping create solutions to address the global
health needs shaping our world today. Where appropriate, these
programs are also able to benefit from Abbott’s health and
technical expertise, leadership, and products. Our major areas of program funding include:
- Global AIDS Care
- Access to Health Care
- Science and Medical Innovation
- Community Vitality
In 2005, Abbott
Fund provided $29 million in grant support to programs that
have reached thousands of people around the world.
