Prime Together Foundation | Prime Therapeutics - Prime Therapeutics
Fighting inequality, promoting justice
We’re passionate about helping local organizations combat inequalities and injustice. In 2020, our employees shared that they wanted to make a difference and create real change. So we created the Prime Together Foundation, which has distributed more than $458,000 in grants.
Mission
Work with our communities to address inequality and injustice in all its manifestations, particularly racism, poverty, health and hunger.
Grantmaking
Prime employees nominate a nonprofit organization that is meaningful to them for a grant. Then, our Grantee Committee and Diversity & Inclusion Council recommends how funds are allocated, and the Foundation’s Board of Directors approves all grants. Note: To receive a grant, a Prime employee must nominate your organization.
