The WellPoint Foundation, the philanthropic arm of WellPoint, supports initiatives that enhance the accessibility and affordability of healthcare. Their grantmaking is primarily focused on programs that aim to improve health outcomes and the quality of care for communities served by the company.
The Foundation invests in domestic initiatives that help transform health care with trusted and caring solutions. They support fellow community investors who commit to increase access to health care, keep health care quality high and reduce costs associated with quality care. They favor initiatives that prioritize obtaining strategic, measurable end results over isolated grant activities. For example, a physical fitness initiative that increases physical activity or improves diet in general as a key goal is less likely to be favored than an initiative that increases physical activity or improves diet as a specific means to reduce BMI for a target population.
The WellPoint Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of individuals and families in the communities it serves. Its responsibilities include:
