About Biotechnology Innovation Organization
Biotechnology Innovation Organization’s recent giving shows a funder that operates as an industry association, with large contributions to policy organizations, health coalitions, and state affiliates alongside complimentary memberships for vendors. A 2025 contribution of $195,000 to the Republican Governors Association is the largest recent grant in the file, and it sits alongside other major policy-oriented grants such as $140,000 to the Bayh Dole Coalition and $130,000 to the Republican State Leadership Committee. The foundation also supports sector infrastructure through sponsorships and member-engagement funding. National Health Council Inc received $124,500 in 2024 and another $75,000 in 2025, while BIO state affiliate support appears through Bio NJ Inc at $37,758 in 2024. Vendor engagement is also part of the pattern: in 2025, multiple BIO BBS vendors received complimentary associate memberships at the same $32,272 level. Across the recent grants list, the emphasis is less on direct service delivery and more on biotechnology advocacy, coalition-building, professional networks, and organizational capacity within the health and life sciences ecosystem.

The foundation also backs biotech-related advocacy and coordination through Bayh Dole Coalition at $140,000 in 2025 and ResearchAmerica at $40,000 in 2025. On the membership side, Bio NJ Inc received $37,758 in 2024 as sponsorship and complimentary associate membership of a BIO state affiliate, indicating support for affiliate capacity as part of the organization’s network-building approach.
