Grifols in your community

National Partnerships

Grifols is proud of the people who serve in the US military and protect our nation. We are a long-time partner of USO, as many employees and donors are either active military or veterans.
The mission of the United Service Organizations (USO) is to strengthen the well-being of the people serving in America’s military and their families. Since 1941, the USO has been serving the US military and their families since 1941. The organization operates centers near military installations around the world, including in combat zones.

Grifols is a long-time partner of Habitat for Humanity both locally and nationally. Over the years, Grifols employees have participated on multiple Habitat house and playground builds.
Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit organization with a vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope. They work in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage.

Grifols Back to School supply drive during August and September encourages our plasma centers to partner with schools in their community to collect books, bags, pens, pencils, and other supplies for children unable to afford these items.
In the last 3 years, Grifols donors and employees have collected and donated close to 100,000 items to local children. The supplies collected, not only help better prepare students in need, but also instill a sense of hope and excitement as they embark on a new school year.

Launched in 2013 by the Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA) and its member companies, IPAW aims to raise global awareness about plasma collection and the lifesaving impact of plasma protein thearpies.
During this week, Grifols centers plan educational activities and donor appreciation events that encourage donors to learn more about plasma donation. Additionally, Grifols social media accounts share patient and donor stories, emphasizing how every donation can save and improve lives.
