Welcome to the Merck Better Care, Healthy Communities Funding System in Canada.

Merck believes that its responsibility as a corporation extends beyond its primary business, which is to respond to health needs of society through the discovery and development of innovative medicines and vaccines. Our mission entails something more: not only are we committed to the health, safety and well-being of those who take our medicines, but also to our employees, neighbors and others in the communities in which we have a presence. We cannot succeed as a business unless we live up to this promise.

The philanthropic outreach of Merck is guided by three strategic priorities: advance scientific knowledge and education, improve health care in Canada, and support communities. We will evaluate requests for support that are aligned with our strategic priorities.

IMPORTANT:  Please note that Merck requires adequate time for the review process; as such, requests must be submitted at least 45 days prior to the program/activity “Start Date” or the “Response Required by Date” if this date is earlier. Requests submitted outside these requirements will not be considered.
