Introduction to the Cigna Foundation
The Cigna Foundation is dedicated to ensuring individuals everywhere have the opportunity to achieve optimal health. By focusing on health equity, the Foundation is committed to breaking down barriers that prevent people from accessing quality healthcare. This mission is exemplified through its World of Difference grants, which aim to support successful initiatives to promote community health.
World of Difference Grants
These grants are designed to create impactful partnerships with non-profit organizations that share similar goals. By collaborating with organizations recognized for their efforts to improve health outcomes, the Cigna Foundation works to amplify its impact. Together, they develop strategies to address the multifaceted challenges related to health inequities, including those based on ethnicity, race, gender, age, geography, and economic status.
Community Health Navigation Projects
The focus on community health navigation is crucial in guiding individuals through the specific health equity challenges they face. Projects funded by the World of Difference grants assist communities in identifying available resources that address these challenges effectively. The Foundation encourages eligible non-profits to submit proposals that demonstrate how their efforts will eliminate health disparities and enhance service accessibility.
While the grant program is currently closed, organizations are encouraged to keep an eye on the Cigna Foundation website for updates regarding future funding opportunities. It is important to note that all applying organizations must hold a verified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.
