Lundbeck US Charitable Fund: Sponsorships Grant

The Lundbeck US Charitable Fund focuses on enhancing brain health through sponsorships that support various initiatives. These sponsorships are available to both non-profit and for-profit organizations, provided they align with Lundbeck's mission. Funds are primarily allocated for educational or awareness events, with an emphasis on community outreach and collaboration to address gaps in care, especially for vulnerable populations. By fostering innovative strategies, the Fund aims to drive meaningful change in the field of brain health.

NOTE: The first step of the process is to submit a request form. Second, if the request has been approved, you will receive an email notification with a request to sign and return a Letter of Agreement (LOA) and provide your electronic banking information (via a secure server).
The Lundbeck US Charitable Fund was established to support organizations who are dedicated to brain health, whether their missions are supporting individuals and families affected by these diseases, building community support systems to improve disease education and care, or advancing innovation and new models to support a brighter future for everyone affected.
The challenge of brain health
Three billion people are impacted by brain health conditions - that's nearly half the world's population. And people living with brain diseases lose 10-20 years in average lifespan versus healthy individuals. Unfortunately, addressing brain diseases, whether mental health or neuroscience related, is no small feat. Yet the millions of people suffering from these conditions every year are urgently awaiting new ideas, new discovery, and new solutions that can relieve the burden and allow them to be their best.
The Lundbeck US Charitable Fund shares Lundbeck's dedication to delivering transformative progress in brain health. But, as an independently managed nonprofit, the Fund plays a unique role in driving meaningful change and fueling progress beyond our walls. We do this through responsible and appropriate charitable donations to organizations and programs that share our dedication to advancing brain health and transforming lives.
The Fund does this by distributing high impact grants across our three areas of strategy.
Accelerate ongoing community efforts: The Lundbeck US Charitable Fund is a strong and active advocate for organizations in Chicagoland, a large and diverse community with significant areas of need. We thoughtfully partner with organizations that are changing lives every day through localized outreach, interventions and support for some of our most at-risk communities, particularly in the areas of mental health care.Address gaps in care today through community collaboration: We actively seek opportunities to support communities that are at high risk of brain disorders, with a goal to make real progress in supporting vulnerable populations or those whose support networks fall behind other communities in resourcing or reach. We are amplifying and expanding the reach of incredible organizations in the U.S. who are delivering life-changing impact for our veterans and military families.Fuel truly novel strategies for future progress: We focus on fueling state-of-the-art strategies through innovation acceleration across the community, focusing on those with the potential to redefine the next generation of care for a wide range of brain disorders.
In 2024, the Fund equipped 14 organizations and delivered $4.6 million to advance critical missions in brain health.
