Cytokinetics, Incorporated (NASDAQ:CYTK) today announced a call for proposals for its annual Cytokinetics Corporate Giving Program. The program provides charitable donations to eligible non-profit organizations in the United States to support equitable healthcare initiatives for cardiovascular disease, science education and certain essential services for local and at-risk communities.

"At Cytokinetics, our commitment to the communities around us is as fundamental to our mission as the science we pursue," said Diane Weiser, Cytokinetics' Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs. "Through this program, we are proud to support the non-profit organizations on the front lines of building a future where everyone has a fair chance at health and opportunity."

The Cytokinetics Corporate Giving Program consists of individual charitable donations up to $20,000 for qualified 501(c)(3) organizations in the United States that are neither engaged, nor directly involved in the practice of healthcare. Specifically, the program will provide funding to organizations with initiatives focused on science education and certain essential services for local and at-risk communities in the San Francisco Bay Area and Greater Philadelphia Region.
