Information on Pfizer’s External Funding Policy
Orange Guide – Chapter 3: Support of External Organizations
Q. Where can Pfizer colleagues in the BUs, Pfizer Medical and PEAC get help and
information on Pfizer’s policy regarding funding to not-for-profit
organizations?
A. Funding requests must be initiated online using the Funding Request Form at
http://InterAct.Pfizer.com under the “BU/Pfizer Medical/Policy FRF” tab.
Additional resources are also available at http://OpSource.pfizer.com under
the “US Funding Request” tab. The OpSource site also includes a funding
request “wizard” and other tools that can help you determine whether a
proposed funding activity is permissible for you to undertake. You can direct
any questions about the process to USFundingRequest@Pfizer.com.
Purchase of a single ticket to a Gala/Fundraiser
Q. The External Funding Policy prohibits Sales, Marketing and Medical
Colleagues from funding a table at a gala or fundraiser for a not-for-profit
organization. But can these colleagues purchase a single ticket to this type of
event?
A. Yes. The Policy permits these colleagues to purchase single tickets to
fundraising events for legitimate business purposes. The ticket fee may be
submitted as an invoice and charged to your department’s payment process.
However, remember that colleagues in these groups are not permitted to
purchase entire tables at such events. Colleagues should operate within the
spirit of these guidelines and not purchase individual tickets in a manner that
results in the purchase of a whole table in order to circumvent the Policy.
