The foundation’s mission is to improve the health and well-being of patient populations — both human and animal — by partnering with organizations to expand access to healthcare around the world.
Making healthcare more accessible for all
Through partnerships, projects, and grants, we work together with nonprofit organizations around the world to ensure people and animals have a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. Our funding strategy focuses on three key areas:
Human health
Supporting access to healthcare for underserved populations around the globe
Animal health
Improving the health of service, companion, and production animals that support humans and advance disaster response efforts
Prescription drug safety
Combating prescription drug misuse through safe disposal, innovative solutions, and mental health support
Expanding our impact globally

United Nations Foundation
In 2022, the Cencora Impact Foundation donated $150,000 to the United Nations Foundation’s Shot@Life campaign. This grassroots advocacy initiative champions global immunization and vaccine equity to protect the world’s most vulnerable children from devastating diseases. Funding is being used to support vaccine interventions in marginalized populations by aiding vaccine delivery, transportation logistics, and community engagement.
Developing partnerships to drive lasting change
For us to truly advance access to healthcare in underserved communities, we need to team up with organizations that are already embedded within them, so we focus on partnering with nonprofit organizations that are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the work they do. By collaborating with like-minded organizations of all sizes, we’re able to take a local approach to addressing disparities on a global scale.
We're proud to partner with the following organizations and many others.

Helping communities in times of need
Cencora, the Cencora Impact Foundation, and all our team members are united in our purpose, and that is clearest when disaster strikes. We act quickly to support relief efforts and work together to get people back on their feet again as soon as possible.
In the aftermath of natural and manmade crises, the Cencora Impact Foundation activates supplementary funds to help communities rebuild, enact preventative measures, and remain resilient. For example, the Foundation committed $100,000 to aid emergency relief efforts in Florida and other regions affected by Hurricane Ian. The targeted donations supported organizations leading front-line emergency response efforts on the ground to directly impact the communities in need.
Supporting nonprofits year-round
Our approach to disaster relief goes much deeper than rapid response efforts alone. We also have a robust grantmaking process that includes proactive support to our strategic emergency response partners, including Americares, Direct Relief, and more.
Empowering our people
We believe in supporting Cencora team members who generously contribute their time and money to the causes that matter most to them. Together, we’ve donated more than $5 million to various charitable organizations around the world since 2019.
