Our Giving

Through our giving, we strive to improve the lives of others and the world around us. In 2010, the Company supported nearly 700 programs in more than 50 countries, contributing over $603 million in cash and products. The work we do is inspired by Our Credo, our responsibility to the communities of which we are a part and the commitment of hundreds of partners that share our mission of making life-changing, long-term differences in human health.

Johnson & Johnson and its many operating companies support community-based programs that improve health and well-being. Our community partners show us where our giving can help the most and make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

Together with our partners, we are helping mothers and infants survive childbirth. We are supporting doctors, nurses and local leaders as they work to provide the best medical care to their people. And we are educating communities on how to reduce their risk of infection from preventable diseases.

Globally, the programs we champion focus on saving and improving lives, building the skills of individuals who serve community health care needs and preventing disease and reducing stigma.

Saving and Improving Lives
We support programs for women and children who struggle to survive in places with limited health care, education or social support.

Building Health Care Capacity
We partner with respected groups to build the skills of people who serve community health needs, primarily through education.

Preventing Diseases
We work with communities to prevent chronic disease like HIV/AIDS and diabetes, and help people cope with the stigma of diseases and mental illness.
