Corporate Giving
A direct corporate gift to Pennington Biomedical Research Foundation supports unrestricted research or can be designated to a specific research area — Basic Research, Diabetes, Obesity, Nutrition, Pediatrics, Healthy Aging, Cancer Prevention, Women’s Health, Population Health, Physical Activity, or Postdoctoral Fellows. Gifts may be acknowledged in Foundation publications, signage, and events based on gift level.
Foundation Grants
Private and community foundations play a vital role in supporting the innovative, high-risk research that federal agencies often cannot fund. We welcome grant inquiries from foundations whose priorities align with our work in obesity, metabolic disease, nutrition science, and community health. Our team is available to discuss program alignment, reporting requirements, and proposal development.
Cause Marketing
Align your brand with world-class metabolic science. Cause marketing partnerships can take the form of point-of-sale campaigns, product tie-ins, percentage-of-sales pledges, or co-branded awareness initiatives. These arrangements connect your customers to a meaningful cause while amplifying the Foundation’s reach in the community.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Sponsoring a Pennington Biomedical event or program places your organization alongside some of the nation’s leading scientists and health advocates. Sponsorship packages vary by event and include recognition in event materials, digital channels, and on-site signage. Contact us to learn about upcoming sponsorship opportunities.
Employee Matching Gifts
Many companies match employee charitable contributions — and some extend matching programs to retirees and board members. If your organization has a matching gift program, encourage your employees to donate and submit their match request. We’ll provide the documentation needed to process the match. Not sure if you have a matching program? Contact your HR department.
