About the Alkermes Inspiration Grants® Program


Since 2016, the Alkermes Inspiration Grants® program has awarded more than $4.5 million in funding to innovative programs that support the needs of those impacted by serious diseases in our therapeutic areas of focus. Applicants and grant recipients include a broad variety of organizations, from large advocacy groups and academic institutions to small, grassroots organizations in rural communities – all working to make a difference. The large volume of high-quality submissions received each time this program opens for applications reinforces the need for funding to support impactful, community-based programs. 

Inspired to Make an Impact



We recently spoke with leaders from three of the 2020 recipient organizations, to hear their perspectives about the impact of Alkermes Inspiration Grants during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are committed to working toward positive change for people affected by addiction, serious mental illness or cancer. This year, we have sharpened the focus of the Alkermes Inspiration Grants program to support innovative programs focused on unmet patient and caregiver needs, while continuing to prioritize efforts to address longstanding and widespread health disparities.
