Community engagement and philanthropy

As part of our commitment to advancing women’s health and gender equity, Organon partners with nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations around the world to help improve education, innovation and access to care and medicines — particularly for women, communities that have been historically underserved and people impacted by humanitarian crises.

Community engagement

In 2021, Organon approved an ESG commitment that included a mandate to develop a charitable giving strategy centered on our women’s health vision. This commitment has also been reflected through multi‑year initiatives such as the Her Plan is Her Power program, which supported partnerships advancing access, education and emergency response in women’s health from 2023 through the program’s completion in 2025, with activities continuing throughout the reporting year.

Our charitable giving prioritizes initiatives that advance women’s health in areas where women are affected uniquely, disproportionately or differently, and that can demonstrate meaningful and measurable impact.

Through this approach, we support programs aligned to three core levers:

  • Access – expanding availability of care and services closer to where women live
  • Innovation – supporting new models, tools and approaches to address persistent gaps
  • Education – improving awareness, knowledge and life skills related to women’s health

Collaborating in-market, Organon’s partners apply these levers differently based on local context, health system needs or capacity, and unmet needs. Our charitable giving is implemented through a combination of globally directed initiatives and in-market‑grants, ensuring both strategic alignment and local relevance.

As a women’s health company, Organon also seeks to engage in initiatives that focus on women and girls who have historically been left behind by health systems. This includes supporting partners that prioritize inclusive outreach, community-based delivery models and youth engagement. We also support partners’ efforts to raise awareness, share best practices and contribute to discussions intended to improve long-term health outcomes for women and broader patient populations.

Our commitment continues through our Her Health strategy, a portfolio‑based approach to philanthropy, focusing on global initiatives and in-market‑partnerships to address local needs.

Her Health Grants Program

The Her Health Grants Program is Organon’s global philanthropic initiative supporting nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations working to help improve education, innovation and access in women’s health.

Her Health Grants support independent, high‑impact, community‑based initiatives that respond to local needs while advancing Organon’s broader women’s health impact strategy. Grants are awarded across diverse geographies and program models, reflecting cultural and regional differences while maintaining a shared focus on impact.

Through the Her Health Grants Program, Organon supports initiatives that:

  • Improve access to healthcare services and information for women
  • Strengthen education, skills‑building and awareness
  • Foster innovative approaches to care delivery and community engagement

Strategic philanthropy 

In addition to the Her Health Grants Program, Organon engages in strategic philanthropic partnerships that address systemic gaps, scale proven solutions and strengthen health systems that serve women and girls. For example:

UNFPA

Organon and UNFPA share a vision of powering a world where the health of women and girls is prioritized across their lifetime. Together, we are partnering to accelerate progress toward our goals and reduce unplanned pregnancies globally, with a particular focus on young people. The global collaboration represents a portfolio of approaches in three areas: innovation, access and education, and sustainability and financing.

YLabs

Climate change is one of the most significant global health threats of the 21st century, with disproportionate impacts on women and girls. In partnership with YLabs, Organon supported the development of a framework to help funding partners assess, anticipate, and respond to the gendered impacts of climate change on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programs, strengthening resilience and equity across diverse geographies and communities most vulnerable to climate-related health impacts.

Partnering for women’s health

Since 2021, Organon and Direct Relief have closely partnered to advance reproductive health and strengthen healthcare access for women in underserved communities. The collaboration has supported innovative, community-based initiatives that expand contraceptive access and empower local health providers to better serve their patients. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to expanding access to reproductive care and building more equitable health systems.

Supporting humanitarian response

Organon-donated medicines also support Direct Relief’s humanitarian efforts, helping healthcare partners meet needs in both underserved communities on a more-routine basis as well as urgent needs in communities affected by conflict, displacement, and natural disasters. By making essential medicines available in these moments, Organon helps Direct Relief and its partners continue providing care where and when it’s needed most.

Employee volunteering

Employee volunteering is an important part of Organon’s commitment to social impact and community engagement. We encourage employees to contribute their time, skills and passion in support of nonprofit organizations and community initiatives that align with our purpose: a better and healthier every day for every woman.

We believe a strong culture of employee volunteerism creates shared value by:

  • Enriching employees’ lives through meaningful service and opportunities for personal and professional growth
  • Building trust in the communities where we operate, strengthening our reputation as a community partner, and providing employees with opportunities to apply and develop their skills, talents, and experiences through volunteerism
  • Supporting nonprofit organizations working to expand access to healthcare, promote healthy lifestyles and advance women’s health in communities with unmet needs

Through employee volunteering, Organon helps translate our values into action — supporting communities, strengthening social impact and empowering employees to make a positive difference where they live and work.

To support employee participation, Organon offers paid volunteer time to eligible employees. Full‑time employees may dedicate up to 40 regularly scheduled work hours per calendar year to approved volunteer activities, with part‑time employees eligible on a prorated basis. Volunteer activities may include skills‑based service and participation in initiatives aligned with Employee Resource Groups.
