Community

WellPoint is improving the health of the communities we serve by investing in those communities. The WellPoint Foundation has strategically funded programs across the United States that advocate healthy behaviors, promote health-risk prevention and foster healthy environments. Our associates are just as committed to the mission. They have pledged their money to national and local charities and worked alongside their family members and friends volunteering their time at local organizations.

On April 27, 2013, WellPoint associates showed how big a difference a half-day can make when more than 3,800 volunteers — across 100 cities — took part in projects at 166 nonprofit organizations to help improve their communities. Together, they rejuvenated 11 miles of trails, shipped 15,000 pounds of medical supplies, engaged 1,750 kids and seniors, and made a lasting, healthy impact on communities across the country.

Through the 2013 Associate Giving Campaign, WellPoint associates, backed by a 50 percent match from the WellPoint Foundation, donated more than $6,000,000 to seven health and community-focused charities: American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, American Red Cross, Community Health Charities, Feeding America, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and the United Way. In 2014, the Associate Giving Campaign becomes a year-round program, allowing associates to give whenever is most convenient for themselves and their families.

Creating a Healthier Future for Children,
Adults and Seniors

Forward progress is achieved one step at a time. That’s the approach of WellPoint Foundation, the charitable arm of WellPoint, Inc. Together, with local, regional and national organizations, the Foundation is addressing the nation’s most pressing health challenges, promoting healthy habits and enriching lives.

At the center of WellPoint Foundation’s work is its Healthy Generations grant platform: heart health, cancer prevention, diabetes prevention, prenatal care, and active lifestyles. Within each of these areas, WellPoint Foundation joins with likeminded, best-in-class nonprofit organizations to develop and implement health-improving programs with an emphasis on service delivery to maximize the community impact of each grant dollar invested.

In 2013, WellPoint Foundation continued its support for high-performing programs, such as the American Heart Association’s Hands-Only CPR training campaign, OASIS Institute’s CATCH Healthy Habits intergenerational wellness curriculum, and March of Dimes’ CenteringPregnancy prenatal care model. It also embarked upon new projects, including support for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Military Youth of the Year program.

The Military Youth of the Year recognizes outstanding Boys & Girls Clubs of America youth participating in Club programs located on U.S. military installations across the globe. Participants advance through local, state and regional competitions by demonstrating how they have not only achieved academic success and overcome personal obstacles, but also made outstanding contributions to their family, school, community and Boys & Girls Clubs-affiliated youth center. WellPoint Foundation is a longstanding supporter of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and serves as the national co-sponsor of its Triple Play youth wellness program. That made it a natural fit for WellPoint Foundation’s National Government Services Foundation to proudly support the inaugural Military Youth of the Year program. Finalists gathered in Washington, DC in September 2013 for a week of service and celebration reinforcing the values of the competition. The events were capped off with the awarding of a $20,000 college scholarship and naming of Fort Knox, Kentucky’s RaShaan Allen as the first-ever Boys & Girls Clubs of America Military Youth of the Year.

The formal grant programs of the WellPoint Foundation are supplemented and advanced by the community relations activities of WellPoint’s affiliated health plans. Through sponsorships, charitable donations and volunteerism, the associates of WellPoint are helping their neighbors and enhancing the company’s involvement in local communities. Through the Associate Giving Campaign, WellPoint associates, backed by a 50 percent match from the WellPoint Foundation, donated more than $6,000,000 to seven health and community-focused charities: American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, American Red Cross, Community Health Charities, Feeding America, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and the United Way.

The combined efforts of WellPoint, its foundation and associates continue to earn recognition, including: designation of WellPoint as a Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program company, the Texas Diversity Council’s Corporate Citizenship Award for Excellence in Philanthropy, and a PR News Corporate Social Responsibility Award for WellPoint subsidiary Amerigroup’s Community Volunteers program.
