Elevance Health touches the lives of more than one in eight Americans. This privilege offers us the opportunity and responsibility to create a healthier future for all. We have two main vehicles for achieving this — (1) Elevance Health, Inc., which focuses on our members and associates, and (2) the Elevance Health Foundation, our philanthropic arm, which focuses on broader populations and communities within the U.S.
As organizations that are committed to, connected to, and invested in our communities, Elevance Health and the Elevance Health Foundation have pledged to strengthen our communities and address health inequities across the country. As we approach our Foundation’s 25th year, we remain committed to improving the health of the socially vulnerable.
Over the past three years (July 2021–July 2024), the Foundation exceeded its $90 million commitment by investing in partnerships and programs that have demonstrated measurable and positive change in four key areas:
- Improving Maternal/Child Health
- Encouraging Food as Medicine
- Reducing Substance Use Disorders
- Supporting Community Resiliency and Disaster Relief
We’ve also recently announced a $10 million commitment to launch a new impact investing program which will create positive social impact through investment opportunities beyond the Foundation’s existing grant portfolio. The new program will provide loans to small businesses, social enterprises, and entrepreneurs that support health equity in under-resourced communities.
The Foundation is proud of the strides we’ve made in partnership with so many outstanding nonprofit organizations. Explore our site to learn more about our approach, our grants, and the successes we are celebrating with our partners.
As we move forward, we’re evaluating what has worked well and how we will make an even more significant difference in the lives we touch. In the coming weeks, please visit our website to learn about our updated approach and new funding opportunities as they become available.
Sincerely,
Dr. Shantanu Agrawal
