Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, provides charitable donations to independent co-pay assistance foundations as part of its commitment to patient health and wellbeing. These foundations help patients who cannot afford their out-of-pocket costs for medicines. The support is directed to foundations providing medicine-cost assistance, rather than to research or scientific projects or directly to individual patients.
Independence is central to this support: Genentech does not influence or control a foundation’s operations or the eligibility criteria it uses to determine which patients receive assistance. Funding requests are reviewed for alignment with Genentech’s strategic focus areas and compliance with its policies.
