Bayer

Partnerships for Humanity

Partnership Spotlight

Since 2014, Bayer has worked with Direct Relief to provide medical and financial support in times of emergency and to health facilities on an ongoing basis.  


Bayer supports several Direct Relief programs at women’s health clinics that provide family planning services to underserved demographics, while actively awarding new programs that remove barriers to reproductive healthcare.  


Reproductive Health Care

In addition to emergency response and ongoing support, Bayer has also bolstered reproductive health services in health centers across the United States.

One example is the Community Health Awards in reproductive health, which aims to advance programs at women’s health clinics, community health centers, and free & charitable clinics that strengthen the provision of family planning services to the most underserved and vulnerable populations across the United States.

The program, funded by Bayer and implemented by Direct Relief, provides awards for new and expanded programs that remove barriers to access reproductive health services in underserved communities. Funding for programs aims to increase access to family planning education, outreach, and services.

In tandem, Bayer also launched a three-year commitment of IUD Product Donations to Direct Relief, representing an important component of women’s health products to safety-net health providers seeking to provide an array of high-quality contraceptive choices for their most vulnerable patients. The availability of the Bayer IUDs supports low-income uninsured women seeking family planning services through Direct Relief’s network of U.S. providers with an easy-to-use access point for long-acting reversible contraception.
