Mission & Focus Areas

The foundation’s stated mission is to contribute to the health and well-being of plasma donors and the communities where they live. Its grant guidelines identify local needs such as homelessness, food security, crisis intervention, educational support beyond the classroom, and environmental sustainability. The guidelines also say requests must directly benefit communities where Grifols has an office or plasma donation center and must not be healthcare-related, medical grants, or patient-organization requests.

The 2024 grantees illustrate the range of organizations supported. Books Between Kids says its mission is to collect books and distribute them to less privileged children. Tabitha’s Way says it provides temporary food assistance and related resources to people facing food insecurity. Wintergarden Women’s Shelter says it provides safe habitation for battered people and their children, while Families First of Palm Beach County describes its work as building stronger families and communities. These are the grantees’ descriptions of their own missions.
