Philanthropy and community service are long-standing traditions at Eli Lilly and Company.
For more than a century, the company has been building upon the founding Lilly family’s commitment to the philosophy of good corporate citizenship.
To further these traditions, the Lilly Foundation offers Lilly employees and retirees the opportunity to enhance their charitable giving within their communities by making available the following cash grant programs:
Employee Matching Gifts Program
Through the Employee Matching Gifts Program, the Lilly Foundation assists many qualified U.S.-based, tax-exempt public charities by matching the gifts of Lilly employees and retirees to qualified educational institutions, cultural organizations, and specific health care organizations. Additionally, employee and retiree gifts to support human services organizations are matched through an annual United Way initiative. The Employee Matching Gifts Program allows Lilly employees and retirees to help determine how the Foundation will spend a portion of its philanthropic resources. Grant guidelines for the Employee Matching Gifts Program can be found by visiting the program's website at https://www.easymatch.com/lillymg.
Employee Volunteer Recognition Program
In 1995, the Lilly Foundation established the Employee Volunteer Recognition Program to encourage and recognize Lilly employees for their volunteer service. Through the program, a $250 grant is awarded to qualified U.S.-based, tax-exempt public charities in which Lilly employees have a continuing, active involvement through their generous investment of time and expertise.
Employees can apply for the volunteer grant via the company's new online employee volunteer program, Lilly Hands and Hearts, website at https://www.easymatch.com/lillyvp.
