Lilly Grant Registry

Disclosure of Grants and Contributions Funded by Lilly

Lilly has for many years provided funding to organizations in the form of educational grants and charitable contributions to support medical education, patient education, and other worthy activities that we believe increase healthcare knowledge and improve patient care. As a business that exists to serve patients, we believe in being transparent and open regarding our educational and charitable giving. That is why we are making this online public disclosure of Lilly grants and charitable contributions to healthcare-related organizations in the U.S.

In the United States, Lilly has two sources of grants or charitable contributions that are documented on this website:

• The U.S. Affiliate Lilly Grant Office (LGO) evaluates the majority of the requests the Company receives for grants in the United States.
• The Lilly Research Laboratories (LRL) Grant Office evaluates the majority of the requests from international organizations and some requests from U.S. agencies that operate internationally.
• For programs outside the U.S. and US possessions that are specific to the originating country, Lilly local offices are tasked with reviewing the majority of educational grant and charitable contribution requests.

In addition, a separate entity, the Eli Lilly and Company Foundation, responds to requests for charitable contributions to 501(c)(3) organizations in two categories:

• Company-aligned giving is focused on public policy research, health and human services aligned with major therapeutic interests, and academic relations.
• Community-aligned giving is focused on culture, education and youth development, community development, locally-aligned health care organizations, local neighborhood groups, and diversity.

The Foundation does not currently support any continuing medical education programs. A report of all of the grants made by the Lilly Foundation can be found in the Company’s IRS 990 filings posted at www.foundationcenter.org.

Lilly upholds the highest standards in the way we conduct business. Therefore, when we respond to requests for grants and contributions, the policies and procedures we follow are designed to assure that there is no inappropriate influence by the Company on the content or balance of educational programs, and that all grants and contributions are made in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

To provide oversight, the LGO uses therapeutic area review committees: neuroscience, critical care, cardiovascular disorders, oncology, women’s health, urology, diabetes mellitus, growth disorders, general medicine, and corporate affairs. A therapeutic area review team consists of an associate from the LGO and various professionals from Lilly’s medical organization and/or corporate affairs. The LRL Grant Office policies and procedures for grant funding mirror those of the LGO, varying only as necessary to accommodate LRL Grant Office’s non-U.S. focus. The Lilly Foundation is governed by an internal board of directors representing the major functions of the company.
