Community & Philanthropy

When Jim and Virginia Stowers founded the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, they set the ultimate example of how financial success can be a force for good. Our values include a strong commitment to helping others and building a strong community. Just as our company is committed to Prosper With Purpose^®, we want our employees to give to their communities in a way that is meaningful to them.

Through our "VIP (Volunteer with Impact and Purpose)” employee volunteer programs, we support charitable organizations in our communities. Additionally, through our "Donors for Dollars" matching-gifts program, we support our employees' contributions of time and money to their favorite 501(c)(3) organizations with generous donations from the American Century Investments Foundation.
