Funding Guidelines
Print
Sanofi-aventis U.S. will utilize a “by invitation only” approach for 2010 charitable donations. Organizations that have been previously funded in 2008 and 2009 will be the primary organizations considered at this time; we hope to contact invited organizations by March 1, 2010. Please revisit this site in the fall of 2010 for possible changes to our 2010 approach and for funding opportunities in 2011. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

Sanofi-aventis U.S. makes financial charitable donations to organizations registered as 501(c)(3) or as Tax Exempt organizations under the Internal Revenue Code. We focus on programs and projects vs. fundraising or general operating funding.  

Multi-year requests (2-3 years) will be considered for new programs only.

Sanofi-aventis U.S. Philanthropy reserves the right to refuse funding for the following items and others as deemed appropriate by company policy or practice:

  • Non-501(c)(3) or non-tax exempt organizations 
  • Deficit financing or debt recovery 
  • Capital campaigns  
  • Individuals 
  • Organizations prohibited by sanofi-aventis U.S. policies 
  • Organizations that discriminate 
  • Organizations with missions that conflict with sanofi-aventis U.S. interests or policies 
  • Political, religious, fraternal, athletic organizations or trade unions  
  • Conferences and symposia (visit www.sagrants.com for CME-related requests) 
  • Lobbying to influence legislation 
  • University-sponsored or free-standing scientific research centers for research on sanofi-aventis related projects or product lines 
  • Multiple grants in a calendar year  
  • Commercial sponsorships or corporate hospitality opportunities    
  • Health care providers in the state of Vermont, including all hospitals, hospital foundations, clinics, etc.
