Terms and Conditions for Grants in Canada

Gilead supports many organizations and projects, but is unable to fund all applications. Applying for a grant is not a guarantee of funding. 

Grants are separate from the company’s commercial activities and sales and marketing personnel are not involved in grant decisions. Grants are not connected to or conditioned upon purchasing, prescribing, recommending, or otherwise supporting Gilead products.

By Submitting an Application, an Organization Agrees:

To use any support provided solely for the project described in the funding request and to return any unused funds to Gilead.

To exercise full control over the supported project, including selection of speakers and attendees.

To disclose to project participants that Gilead provided financial support and, if applicable, whether any unapproved uses of products will be discussed.

To provide documentation, at Gilead’s request, demonstrating that funds were used as intended and that the project achieved its stated purpose.

To refrain from the use of any support provided to discriminate against a person or group on the basis of age, political affiliation, race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, HIV status or religious belief.
