Angels for Change Receives Grant from the McKesson Foundation to Expand Services

TAMPA, FL. – July 14th, 2022 Angels for Change, a global nonprofit on a mission to end drug shortages, is now positioned for long-term growth and success thanks to a grant awarded from the McKesson Foundation. Angels for Change will use the grant to expand its staff, lease office space, support education programs and help cover general operating costs. 

“The infusion of this grant will be instrumental – not only for us as an organization but for those who rely on us for medication that could potentially save their lives,” said Angels for Change Founder and Chief Change Maker, Laura Bray. “I want to thank our own angel, the McKesson Foundation, for their continued support and dedication to our mission. The addition of talented, experienced professionals and the space to collaborate will accelerate our work to ensure patients have access to critical drugs.”

“Eliminating drug shortages will require hard work, commitment and stakeholder collaboration,” said Brian Tyler, Chief Executive Officer, McKesson. “Our team at McKesson admires the efforts of Angels for Change to address this complex issue, and we are honored to support the organization in its effort to save even more lives.”
