We recognize that people with chronic diseases often face challenges that scientific discovery cannot solve alone.
Through our partnerships and philanthropic efforts, we support initiatives and programs that help improve access to care, reduce disparities, improve education and support our local communities. Gilead’s comprehensive strategy to support communities that are disproportionally impacted by diseases aligned with our therapeutic areas of focus includes addressing the social and structural factors that fuel epidemics.
The Gilead TRANScend Community Impact Fund builds on this commitment by supporting Trans-led and Trans-serving organizations working to improve the safety, health and wellness of the Transgender community.
