About Sanofi Cares North America Formerly the Sanofi Foundation for N America

The largest listed grant, $4,149,829,881 in 2025, went to a recipient name withheld in the source record and was earmarked to provide free drugs to those patients.

One active program, the diabetes camps donation process, accepts unsolicited applications.
