NPC's Philanthropy & Community Development Program

Caring and Curing in Our Communities

Focusing each day on making a difference. Improving the health and wellness of all people. Giving back to our communities. These core values drive Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation and our employees to new levels of excellence and achievement.

Whether its research into a life saving medicine, helping young girls excel at math and science, or teaching people preventative medicine, at NPC, we understand that being a leader means leading locally as well as globally.

NPC is committed to improving the health and wellness of all people. Our philanthropic initiatives represent innovative, sustainable programs that are patient-centered and focus upon patient education. We are equally committed to developing meaningful partnerships with non-profit organizations that are committed to enhancing quality of life, recognize the interest of our employees, and address significant social issues related to health, education and civic engagement in the communities where Novartis operates. Support is given to a broad spectrum of agencies and programs assisting underserved populations, including:

• Health and disease state awareness programs;
• Educational initiatives, in partical, math, science, and technology programs; and
• Local civic and community development initiatives.

Funding requests must be submitted on-line and the requesting organization must have a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit status as outlined by the Internal Revenue Code.
