OUR PURPOSE PIONEERING SCIENCE REPORTING 110 BIOGEN 2021 YEAR IN REVIEW PATIENTS OUR PEOPLE ENVIRONMENT COMMUNITY The Biogen Foundation succeeded once again in our commitment to care deeply for neighbors in need, work fearlessly for health equity, and change lives through science. We provided over $8 million to a range of organizations aligned with our vision and that are moving the needle to serve humanity. 1. Caring Deeply for neighbors in need Supporting broad humanitarian needs, including disaster relief and recovery, that are necessary for human health. Recognizing that the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to increase the number of food insecure families, the Biogen Foundation augmented its commitment to vulnerable populations this past year. Our support of the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina helped 850+ children and teens receive 109,500 healthy meals in Wake, Durham and Orange counties across 22 child nutrition sites in 2021. We were honored to support programs like the Kids Café, which makes free hot meals, and provides homework help and character-building activities to low-income children and teens; the Weekend Power Pack Program, which gives students nutritious food for the family during out-of-school times; and School Pantries that provide groceries to low-income students when they are dropped off or picked up from school. In Massachusetts, we have helped fund the Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB) since 1993. When GBFB began serving twice as many families in need last year, we doubled down on our assistance to help our neighbors struggling with food insecurity. Thanks in part to our commitment, GBFB distributed more than 117 million pounds of healthy food – the equivalent of over 96 million meals – in 2021. 2. Working fearlessly for health equity Supporting leading organizations in addressing social determinants of health and strengthening health systems so everyone can access the care they need. The COVID-19 pandemic has also brought to light many of the disparities in health outcomes related to social determinants of health , such as economic stability and healthcare access and quality. In 2021, the Biogen Foundation bolstered its support of programs that address these divides. To that end, the Biogen Foundation collaborated with the relief and development nonprofit Americares in a gift matching program to help Americares raise up to $500,000. These funds supplied health workers and patients with infection-control supplies, oxygen and other urgently needed equipment in 100 clinics across India with a focus on vulnerable communities in the 10 hardest-hit states. The Biogen Foundation also supported CareMessage, the largest patient engagement platform in the U.S., which equips at-risk communities without broadband internet with access to accurate healthcare information using basic text and voice messaging. Support from the Biogen Foundation allowed the program to expand in North Carolina, supplying greater numbers of vulnerable people with accurate vaccine information as well as details regarding food, shelter and health insurance.
