The Amgen Foundation seeks to improve access and advance excellence in science education to inspire the next generation of innovators, as well as invest in strengthening communities where Amgen staff members live and work. We support diverse organizations whose philosophies, objectives, and approaches align with the Foundation's mission and strategic goals. 

Each year, the Foundation awards grants to local, regional, and international nonprofit organizations whose programs are replicable, scalable, and designed to have a lasting and meaningful effect on Amgen communities. These grants reflect Amgen's dedication to impacting lives in inspiring and innovative ways. 

The Foundation prioritizes these areas: 

• Teacher quality and professional development in science: We support comprehensive programs that enhance the quality of science teachers entering the classroom, and support teachers with meaningful professional-development opportunities that have a positive impact on student achievement. 

• Pivotal science experience: We support programs that provide students and teachers with opportunities for authentic, inquiry-based learning experiences that significantly impact students' excitement about science and scientific careers and make use of the latest educational technology. 

As part of Amgen’s mission to serve patients, the company is proud to support organizations and programs that:

• Educate healthcare professionals on disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment, including the safe and appropriate uses of Amgen products;

• Offer important services for patients and their caregivers, such as disease awareness and screening;

• Advance science education;

• And make meaningful differences in our communities.
