Grants, Donations and Funding

Lilly strives to create and deliver innovative medicines that enable people to live longer, healthier and more active lives. As a component of this goal, Lilly Canada is committed to supporting projects that promote excellence in patient care and provide valuable information to the medical and patient advocacy communities.

Support for Education, Medical Research and Therapeutic Area Grants


We prioritize requests for support in the following scientific and therapeutic areas:

  • Cancer (breast, lung, thyroid, colorectal, diagnostics)

  • Diabetes

  • Immunology (dermatology, rheumatology)

  • Pain (migraine headache)

Charitable Donations

We also support our local community by providing philanthropic support to organizations that address local community needs. Lilly Canada’s Grants program provides support to organizations who have a registered charity number. Requests for charitable donations do not need to align with the scientific and therapeutic areas noted above.
