About Abbott Fund
Abbott Fund concentrates its giving on health-related initiatives with both local community impact and global emergency/health systems work. Large, multi-hundred-thousand to multi-million dollar gifts fund diabetes education and services in Stockton, support global laboratory and disease programs, and underwrite humanitarian medical response; the foundation also routes significant funding through an employee-giving platform to leverage staff philanthropy. Grants are few but sizable and often awarded repeatedly to the same institutions, indicating strategic, relationship-driven philanthropy.
