Johnson & Johnson has a long legacy of giving and is consistently among the leading corporate donors in the world.

In 2009, the Company supported nearly 650 programs in more than 50 countries. This work is inspired by Our Credo responsibility to communities and the commitment of hundreds of partners that share our mission of making life-changing, long-term differences in human health.

Strong partnerships at the community level are critical, as local organizations have the greatest insight into the needs of their people and the strategies that stand the greatest chances of success.

This is especially true for Johnson & Johnson as it focuses on saving and improving the lives of women and children, building the skills of people who serve community health needs, and preventing diseases and reducing stigma and disability in underserved communities.

The stories here highlight a few examples of how this global strategic approach to philanthropy translates into action.
