There are so many wonderful communities throughout our state, and Florida Blue is with you no matter which one you call home. While many thrive, there are under-resourced neighborhoods that experience economic disparities. In recognizing this, we have supported underserved populations for more than 20 years.
Led by Florida Blue Foundation, we’re continually working with local organizations to advance innovative programs that address health equity, food security, mental well-being, and health disparities. In 2023, Florida Blue and Florida Blue Foundation made a total of 854 grants and charitable contributions totaling $28.4 million, and our employees volunteered more than 60,000 hours in our communities.
Through member outreach, employee volunteerism, and support provided to community health programs and fitness/wellness programs, we are committed to helping everyone in Florida achieve better health.
Corporate contributions
Our commitment to making a positive impact in the community is firmly rooted in our mission to help people and communities achieve better health.
As part of our corporate contributions, we partner with local nonprofit organizations that will add value, have lasting impact, and improve access to health-related services in our communities.
Our focus is to develop strategic partnerships with Florida-based nonprofit organizations, address social determinants of health in our communities, and support causes and issues critical to our company. All with the goal to improve the quality of life for all Floridians.
Growing resilient communities
In 2021 we launched the Growing Resilient Communities initiative (GRC) to help improve prosperity and reduce generational poverty in five ZIP Codes throughout the state.
This initiative identifies communities in need and partners with local organizations and residents to collaborate with government, nonprofits, faith institutions, and local businesses to address health, education, housing, and many other needs.
