Eli Lilly and Company was founded in 1876 by the pharmaceutical chemist of the same name to manufacture high quality medicines. The company has approximately 39,000 employees worldwide for US$19 billion in sales. The Lilly Foundation gave $29 million to charitable causes in 2007 with many in Indianapolis over the years.
