MedImmune is committed to making a difference in science, in the lives of our patients, and in our local communities.

We believe that community outreach must include more than financial assistance. To truly make an impact we must be actively engaged in the scientific community, locally with our employees and at a grassroots level. Therefore we utilize a combination of charitable contributions, educational grants, scientific event sponsorships and employee volunteerism to meet the needs of our greater community. In 2007, MedImmune invested more than $3.5 million in the local community through charitable grants and event sponsorships. MedImmune is proud to be a leader in the world of corporate philanthropy and community investment. We are on target to surpass this level of giving in 2008.

We seek to establish relationships with the organizations we support and we contribute directly to the communities in which our employees work and live. We look for associations with causes that are aligned with our areas of therapeutic focus and with the goal of advancing health and science education. We initiate programs, engage our employees in volunteer activities, and share our expertise to drive initiatives on a personal level. Our core value of cultivating a collaborative environment reminds us that teamwork and partnerships are essential to MedImmune’s success. As an active and vital member of the communities in which our employees live and work, MedImmune drives this value beyond the walls of our labs, manufacturing facilities, and offices.

We support advocacy groups who work with patients directly on a national and local level, groups that can help us understand what patients are most concerned about and how we can help address those needs. Through participation in local events we engage our employees and foster community involvement. We encourage family and friends to participate in activities, building the spirit of community well beyond the corporation.

Eligible MedImmune employees also support federal and state political candidates through the MedI PAC, a nonpartisan political action committee (PAC.) The PAC’s purpose is to collect voluntary contributions from eligible MedImmune employees and then distribute these funds in accordance with federal and state election laws. The MedI PAC is an important tool that assists MedImmune in educating legislators about issues critical to our organization and the patients we serve. When candidates receive a contribution from MedI PAC, they know it represents the collective voice of our dedicated community and the very best people in the biopharmaceutical industry.
