CHARITABLE PRODUCT DONATIONS AND MEDICAL MISSIONS

For medical mission trip requests, an application along with required documents must be submitted to Highridge at least 90 days prior to the date product is needed.

Highridge may provide grants to organizations and institutions that have a genuine educational or scientific purpose or function to support educational programs and events on scientific, clinical, or healthcare topics. Highridge may place restrictions on a grant, but it may not seek to control or influence the content, faculty, educational materials, or methods of the educational program funded by the grant. Similarly, Highridge may not select or instruct the organizational or institutional grant recipient to select specific HCPs or other individuals or organizations to benefit from Highridge’s grant funding.
