Criteria For Giving

Our community support programme is overseen by a committee which aims to be professional, sympathetic, impartial and systematic. That must include a firm and clear statement of what we can and cannot support, subject to available funds and the balance of our existing community work.

We support activities which are aligned to:

Frontier Science and Education

• Support of frontier research in medicine and life science

• Development of science talents in areas related to Bayer’s fields of competency

• Science education in schools and the promotion of science enthusiasm among children and teenagers

Health and Nutrition challenges

• Nutrition security, nutrition quality and the prevention of nutrition loss

• Maternal and reproductive health

Community development and support

• Serving basic social needs in the communities near Bayer sites.

• Assistance to those in need following natural disasters

 We are unable to support:

• individuals rather than group activities

• religious, political or racially aligned movements

• projects or activities bridging a gap in government or local authority funding

• sporting or recreational activities unless closely associated to Bayer

• entries in log books, year books or support advertising

• projects of a local nature which are outside key locations of Berkshire, Cambridge and Dublin

• conferences, lectures, trips, respite breaks or holidays
