Bayer Foundations Mission and Goals

The Bayer Foundation is here to help people and families who are struggling with pain. Our goal is to bring real help, effective relief—by informing and supporting current and novel ways to manage pain without addiction risk, is safe, effective, and available to everyone who needs it.

Our Goals for You and Our Community:

1. Better Pain Relief Without the Risk of Addiction

We are working to provide accurate information to give patients more choices for treating pain—especially long-term pain—without relying on opioids. That means finding safer medications, new therapies, and better tools to help you live more comfortably and stay active.

2. Building a Community so no one is alone

We want people with pain to know they are not alone, that we are a community of mutual support that meets you where you are — a forum where you can talk to each other and gain a better understanding of how others have learned to live and thrive with pain. We're helping make those services more available, more effective, and easier to continue.
