Innovative Impact

The AbbVie Foundation is a catalyst for change—accelerating innovation is essential to our impact.


We believe that transformative change begins in communities. By embracing bold thinking and working together with our partners to accelerate their new ideas and approaches, we have the greatest potential to drive systemic change and break through critical health inequities that have affected communities for generations.

We support and empower community-based organizations to develop and scale innovative solutions that disrupt the status quo and address complex issues facing their communities so that everyone can live their healthiest life.

AbbVie Foundation Health Equity Accelerator

The AbbVie Foundation Health Equity Accelerator in partnership with MATTER, focuses on accelerating community-led, innovative solutions to advance health equity in underserved communities. The Accelerator identifies nonprofit organizations with innovative approaches to addressing inequities in their communities – and empowers them with essential grants, mentorship and resources to scale their initiatives and impact.
