Cephalon's Evaluation Process

The Cephalon Corporate Contributions budget is established annually and is administered by Cephalon employees. Requests are evaluated on an ongoing basis against Cephalon's areas of focus, company priorities, available budget, and eligible activities/restrictions. The process for receiving, evaluating and responding to a grant request may take from four to eight weeks to be completed. Grants are made throughout the year.

In evaluating proposals, we will look for promising or proven-effective, quality programs that provide services directly to residents in Cephalon communities. Funding decisions will be based, in part, on criteria such as the following:

• How well the program meets Cephalon areas of focus and criteria for contributions.
• How well the proposed services match local community needs.
• How many individuals the program will reach.
• The organization's capacity to sustain the program.
• Plans for measuring the success of the initiative.
• Capacity to sustain the program once Cephalon support has ended.
