in America

The Elevance Health Foundation is advancing health equity by addressing the physical, behavioral, and social needs of America’s vulnerable populations. As a community health catalyst, we are driving innovative, scalable, and valued solutions.

Our Approach in Action

Grant Making

Feeding America

A $14.1 million grant from the Elevance Health Foundation to Feeding America’s Food as Medicine program is helping address food insecurity, a key driver of health. To date, the program has reached over 500,000 people.

Impact Investing

Loans to Address Social Needs

A $10 million commitment by the Elevance Health Foundation will provide access to inclusive and affordable financing for purpose-driven businesses that focus on advancing health equity.

Associate Community Engagement

Million Meal Movement

To kick off the 2024 Elevance Health Volunteer Days initiative, Elevance Health associates joined Lions Clubs International and the Million Meal Movement to package shelf-stable meals for neighbors experiencing food insecurity.

Community Action Leadership

Transforming Healthcare: Incentivizing Action for Change

Dr. Shantanu Agrawal, the chief health officer of Elevance Health, announced a major new vision and commitment to the communities we serve. Beginning in 2025, the Elevance Health Foundation will bring together health experts and social leaders from a range of disciplines to address large-scale community health needs. Collectively, they will help redefine philanthropy’s role and incentivize action for change.

For Grantseekers

The Elevance Health Foundation has recently exceeded its three-year, $90 million commitment.

To ensure that we have the best approach to improving the health of the socially vulnerable in our communities going forward, we are refining our strategy.

We will launch our next five-year commitment in early 2025. Until then, we are not accepting phone or email inquiries or new funding applications.
