Community Involvement

Our long-term mission is to develop novel therapies that make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients with cancer and other serious diseases. We recognize that the caring and compassion of each member of the Exelixis
team also can make a difference today in our community and in the community of individuals living with serious medical or financial challenges. Exelixis is proud to support organizations within our communities that work towards
improving the quality of life for those in need that live in the Bay Area. Through Exelixis’ charitable contributions program and the efforts of the charitable contribution committee, we work together to strengthen our role as a good corporate citizen and to support non-profit organizations for which our financial contributions can truly make a difference.

As a company, we support several local and national not-for-profit groups that are resources for information on health, science and patient support, including The Wellness Community and the Hunter’s Point Science Education Program. We also support Delancey Street Foundation, Habitat for Humanity and Second Harvest Food Bank. Exelixis is a routine host of onsite blood drives sponsored by the Stanford Medical Blood Center, at which our employees donate blood to support patients in our local hospitals. Our employees also actively participate in fundraisers such as the American Cancer Society’s Daffodil Days, the Arthritis Foundation Walk, Family Giving Tree Gift Drive and the Breast Cancer Walk.
