Sen. Marco Rubio and colleagues noted in their letter that Pfizer is listed among thousands of donors in the group's 2022 financial statements. The document does not specify any dollar figures.
When contacted by CBC News, a spokesperson for Dying With Dignity Canada said the Pfizer contribution was a mere $50, or roughly $37 USD.
She said it was part of a company program matching employee charitable donations, and the company matched an employee's $50 contribution.
"Which is why they [Pfizer] are named on our 2022 donor listing," said Sarah Dobec, a spokesperson for Dying With Dignity Canada.
"Dying With Dignity Canada does not have a corporate fundraising program, nor do we have relationships with pharmaceutical companies. Nearly all of our donations are generously provided by individual donors who support end-of-life rights and choice."
In their letter sent Wednesday to Pfizer's CEO Albert Bourla, the American senators expressed alarm about the contribution.
