Since its establishment in the United States in 1948, Bayer Corporation has been involved in social, community and environmental programs with a goal to help improve the quality of life of people, families and communities across the country. This commitment is evident through our support of numerous social responsibility programs, often in partnership with governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and nonprofits, and other leading social, health and environmental experts.

As the primary source for Bayer’s philanthropic giving throughout the United States, the Bayer USA Foundation supports programs with a focus on Arts and Culture; Health and Human Services; Environment and Sustainability; and Workforce Development and Education.

We also focus heavily on science education at every level from kindergarten through graduate school. These programs are not only helping create the next generation of innovators and inventors. Bayer demonstrates this commitment through its national, Presidential award-winning Making Science Make Sense® (MSMS) program, a company-wide initiative that advances science literacy across the United States through hands-on, inquiry-based science learning, employee volunteerism and public education. We're particularly cognizant of our responsibility to invest in programs that are helping to build a more diverse STEM pipeline and workforce by closing achievement gaps between male and female and minority and majority students.
