Our Areas of Focus
The Pfizer Foundation aims to improve access to healthcare within historically marginalized communities and strengthen health systems in low- and middle-income countries. We are focused in three areas: global health and health system strengthening, crisis and humanitarian response and colleague and community engagement.
Explore how The Pfizer Foundation grants are helping to improve health systems and increase access to quality healthcare for historically underserved populations in the U.S. and around the world.

Since 2016, the Global Health Innovation Grants (GHIG) program has supported community-based initiatives improving quality of care and strengthening health systems to address infectious diseases in low- and middle-income countries. The GHIG program is helping communities reduce child mortality, improve appropriate diagnosis and treatment for infectious diseases, support systems that combat vaccine preventable illness and better prepare for new and emerging infectious diseases.

Building on what we already know, The Pfizer Foundation is redefining the way we fight infectious disease to help protect people who have been marginalized in the U.S. and around the world. The Pfizer Foundation works to address today and tomorrow’s biggest health challenges in infectious diseases, including a specific focus on building and strengthening systems that combat vaccine preventable illness.

Launched in 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Innovation Awards in Community Health is implemented by Direct Relief and funded by The Pfizer Foundation to create greater health equity among historically underserved communities in the U.S. The program provides funding to U.S. safety-net community healthcare providers to support innovative approaches to infectious disease education, screening, testing, treatment and care.
