Non-profit partner spotlight
Wings of Rescue
Wings of Rescue's mission is to fly at-risk pets from disaster areas and overcrowded shelters to shelters where there is empty kennel space and very importantly – where no local shelter pets are displaced by our flights. Since its inception in 2012, they have flown over 60,000 pets to save havens and loving homes.
About us
The AmerisourceBergen Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit charitable giving organization, established by the AmerisourceBergen Corporation with a mission to improve the health and wellbeing of patient populations–both human and animal–by partnering with organizations to expand access to healthcare in order to advance health equity.
Foundation governance
The Foundation is governed by a majority independent Board of Directors. A Grantmaking Committee made up of leaders from across the enterprise is responsible for reviewing applications, resolving questions, interpreting eligibility requirements, and approving requests for grants. Together, the Foundation Board of Directors and Grantmaking Committee provide effective, on-going decision-making on behalf of the Foundation.
Our focus on access to healthcare
We believe that health equity can only be achieved by providing access to healthcare for all. Through an invitation-only grant process, the AmerisourceBergen Foundation collaborates with organizations to implement projects that have a goal of providing everyone, both humans and animals, with a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. Specific areas funded include:
Human health
Supporting human health-related causes around the globe focused on access to healthcare for underserved populations
Animal health
Improving the health of service, disaster response, companion and production animals that support humans around the globe
Prescription drug safety
Combatting prescription drug misuse in the U.S. through safe disposal and innovative solutions
Our local communities
Hyperlocal Grants: Through employee-driven, local grantmaking committees we support the communities where our team members live and work
Our team members
Scholarships: We annually provide up to ten scholarships to the children of AmerisourceBergen team members who are furthering their education after completing high school at both traditional four-year institutions as well as attending community college and technical schools
Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion
At the AmerisourceBergen Foundation, we foster diverse, equitable and inclusive partnerships that create healthier lives and communities. We aim to advance health equity and access to healthcare by collaborating with organizations who strive for diversity, equity and inclusiveness in their own organizations and the communities they serve, as we partner to create healthier futures.
Diversity, equity and inclusion is woven throughout everything we do at the AmerisourceBergen Foundation. We seek to measure our programs and the programs we support within a framework of health equity. And we are committed to continually improving our practices and procedures to ensure equity and inclusivity among all of our stakeholders and building partnerships that result in real lasting change.
Acting as a community
We take pride in the partnerships we’re developing through our invitation-only programs, hyperlocal grants and scholarship programs. Because we know that when we are united in our responsibilities, together we can create healthier futures.
