Elevance Health Foundation
Summary
As the philanthropic arm of Elevance Health, Inc., the Elevance Health Foundation promotes the organization's commitment to improving lives and communities. The Elevance Health Foundation focuses on the following priorities.
Maternal and Child Health:
The Foundation will prioritize funding for programs that improve maternal/infant health, target disparities, address social needs, and remove barriers to care throughout the pregnancy journey—from pre-conception support to postnatal care for mothers and babies. The programs should drive specific, measurable maternal/infant health outcomes.
Food As Medicine:
The Foundation will prioritize funding for programs that improve clinical health outcomes for individuals with diet-related conditions and increase access to nutritious foods for populations experiencing food/nutrition insecurity.
Behavioral Health
The Foundation will prioritize funding for programs that increase the number of individuals receiving treatment for mental health (MH) and/or substance use disorders (SUD), support prevention and early-intervention strategies, and seek to reduce loneliness among individuals with these disorders.
