CVS Caremark Community Grants Program Offers Support for Organizations Serving Children With Disabilities and the Uninsured
An annual philanthropic initiative of CVS Caremark, the CVS Caremark Community Grants program awards funds to nonprofit organizations working to help disabled individuals 21 and under lead full and independent lives, and to programs that help the uninsured receive quality health care.
Applications are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis for grants in the following funding areas:
Children with disabilities. Support for programs that serve individuals 21 and under and address any of the following: 1) Health and Rehabilitation Services -- programs that help ensure children with disabilities develop the skills they need to live as independently as possible, including physical and occupational therapies, speech and hearing therapies, assistive technology, and recreational therapies; and 2) programs that provide either physical activities or play opportunities for children to address the specific needs of the population served.
Public schools. Support for programs designed to include children with disabilities as full participants alongside their typically developing peers.
Health care for the uninsured and underserved. Support for programs working to help more uninsured people receive needed care and ensure that the care received is of high quality and delivered by providers who participate in accountable community healthcare programs. There is no age limit on proposed programs that create greater access to healthcare services.
Applicants must be nonprofit organizations or public schools located in states with CVS/pharmacy stores.
Qualifying organizations are eligible for grants of up to $5,000.
