How to Apply: Guidelines

The Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation considers requests for support only from tax-exempt organizations that satisfy the requirements of section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

The Foundation Does Not Award Funds To:

• Individuals
• Political, fraternal, social or veterans’ organizations
• Religious or sectarian organizations unless engaged in a significant project benefiting the entire community
• Organizations receiving support through United Way or other federated campaigns
• Endowments
• Courtesy advertising
• Conferences/special events/videos

• Brief statement of the organization’s history, goals and accomplishments to date
• Statement of purpose for which the grants are requested and rationale for support
• Project budget and list of current funding sources
• List of board members

The request should be no more than five pages. We will contact for additional information only those organizations in which we are interested.

Nonprofit organizations in communities where Bristol-Myers Squibb maintains a facility should submit their requests for company contributions directly to that location.
