For more than 125 years, BD has championed partnerships that help drive the greatest health impact and improve patient outcomes for all. We actively strive to advance health access by strengthening local health infrastructure and helping drive lasting, positive change for communities that need it most.
As part of that commitment, we introduced the BD Community Investment Fund in 2024, which provides cash grants for new and existing health access programming in BD’s hometowns – where our associates live and work.
Grant recipients of the BD Community Investment Fund are community-based nonprofits with missions and programs that are strategically aligned to our health access strategy, and are working to address challenges related to obtaining basic health needs, including accessibility to preventative care, nutrition, housing and education.
Associates based in these communities helped identify the grant recipients, ensuring that we are supporting causes that are important to them, their families and their communities.
