Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation’s website describes the Pfizer Patient Assistance Program as providing free Pfizer medicines to eligible patients. Its 2024 filing also lists grants for institutional patient assistance programs.
Among 2024 grantees, Welvista says its mission is to provide access to donated and purchased prescription medication to uninsured people and oral health care to low-income children. Community Volunteers in Medicine describes its work as providing free health care to uninsured working people with low incomes. Greenville Free Medical Clinic says it provides an equitable bridge to quality health care for Greenville County residents. These are the grantees’ descriptions of their own missions.
Grantmaking
In 2024, the filing lists 45 grants totaling $1,480,409,944. Grant amounts ranged from $178 to $1,480,086,930, with a median of $2,709. The largest grant went to Individual Patient Programs for free Pfizer medicines for eligible patients. Other listed grants included $71,579 to Welvista, $38,342 to Crossover Health Ministry, $18,544 to Community Volunteers in Medicine, and $17,715 to NC MedAssist, each for an institutional patient assistance program.
The foundation’s filing says it does not restrict giving to preselected organizations. Its application instructions concern patients seeking assistance through the Pfizer Patient Assistance Program, rather than an application process for outside organizations. Patients and their healthcare providers must submit a completed enrollment form, and patients must provide proof of income. Some patients may first need to seek other forms of assistance. Eligibility requires a valid prescription for a medicine available through the program, an FDA-approved indication, uninsured or government-insured status and inability to afford the copayment, income within guidelines that vary by medicine and start at 300% of the federal poverty level adjusted for family size, U.S. or territory residency, and treatment by a licensed healthcare provider in the U.S. or a territory. Commercially insured patients are not eligible.
The website says patients and providers can begin through the Program Finder; some medicines allow online applications through Pfizer PAP Connect, while a manual process is available for those unable to apply online. Applicants are notified of enrollment status within two to three weeks of applying.
