examples of each type of charitable contribution, a description of the groups that may provide funding<br />

organizations or programs that exist for broad public benefit not related to products or healthcare<br />
topics.<br />
Examples: Contribution for disaster relief; contribution for a school fundraiser.<br />
Colleagues that May Provide Funding: U.S.-based colleagues in the following <strong>Pfizer</strong><br />
divisions: U.S. Biopharmaceutical Business (except for Sales Colleagues), PEAC, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Pfizer</strong><br />

community education or advocacy; health screening <strong>and</strong> surveying; improved patient access to care<br />
(e.g., affordability, transportation costs); <strong>and</strong>/or organizations whose general mission is to benefit<br />
specific patient groups.<br />
Examples: Contribution to the Arthritis Foundation for patient education on lifestyle<br />

website at www.pfizerhealthcharitables.com. Colleagues should not submit requests to<br />
MEG on an organization’s behalf. This website includes a list of criteria that any request<br />
