The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Foundation for Community & Health Advancement Grant

Overview

The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Foundation for Community & Health Advancement partners with organizations that are transforming health in Arizona to amplify their impact.

Grant opportunities are available for Arizona-based organizations that are seeking funding related to the Foundation’s focus areas. The Foundation offers grant opportunities for programs and applied research projects, and supports a select number of charitable events each year.

• Chronic health conditions : Working to reduce the impact of chronic health issues by expanding access to screenings, medication and medical care, and lifestyle management
• Health equity: Addressing the social determinants of health in order to increase health equity and amplify every Arizonan’s chances of well-being.
• Mental health: Expanding statewide resources, reducing stigma about mental health, and connecting people to care that promotes positive mental health and saves lives.
• Substance use disorder: Investing in prevention, treatment, and recovery in order to reduce overdose-related deaths.

Funding priority is given to projects that expand publicly-available resources, are scalable (or have the potential to increase systems-level capacity), and have a measurable impact.
