J&J Foundation

Johnson & Johnson Foundation is working towards creating a world without health inequities by closing the gaps between communities and the care they need.

The Johnson & Johnson Foundation is a private registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization that reflects the commitment of Johnson & Johnson to use its size, scale, and diversity to advance equitable care and put better health within reach.

Founded in 1953, the J&J Foundation is one of the oldest corporate foundations in healthcare, with a mission to support global health and social impact initiatives that work to improve the health and overall well-being of the most under-served communities. It is an independent entity governed by a Board of Trustees responsible for its charitable mission, with operational management by the J&J Global Health Equity organization.

Funded solely by Johnson & Johnson, the J&J Foundation supports both global and in-country partnerships and community-led initiatives to champion health workers, especially nurses and community health workers, and advance access to quality healthcare.

The Foundation also includes J&J Impact Ventures, an investment fund supporting a global portfolio of early-stage companies innovating access to quality and affordable care for patients around the world.

The Johnson & Johnson Foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals. Our team works extensively with NGO partners to co-create projects aligned with defined strategic priorities. Together with our partners, we focus on building and strengthening a robust primary care health workforce made up of capable, confident and resilient nurses and community health workers who can provide quality care to the communities they serve.

The Foundation does not make grants to individuals or grants to organizations that are designated for named individuals.
