Program areas at Point32health Foundation
Capacity-building grants capacity-building grants invest in nonprofit organizations and community-led solutions that address systemic inequities in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, new hampshire and rhode island.
Systems & best practices grants the Foundation supports best practices and systemic changes to address food insecurity, advance mental health and eliminate barriers adversely affecting older people. Programs can expand, scale or replicate "best in class" collaborations and ideas that address the needs in these three areas. Community engagement and input should be prioritized.
Corporate citizenship (workplace giving/sponsorships) in 2022, the Point32health family of companies, participated in corporate citizenship activities. This included Foundation investments in community through grants and sponsorships, a match program that supports individual volunteering and/or financial contributions to qualified non-profit organizations up to $500 annually for each employee and up to $5,000 annually for members of Point32health and Foundation boards of directors. Donations made on #givingtuesday are matched two-for-one. Additionally, the Foundation matches up to $5,000 annually for employees at the director-level and above who serve on boards and offers employees up to the manager level an opportunity to driect a mini grant up to $300. A match incentive for team-based volunteering encourages service to community. Additionally, the Foundation offers special match programs to support organizations advancing racial and social justice, disaster response and relief efforts, and fundraising programs such as the walk to end alzheimer's and nami walks (to support the national alliance on mental illness). The corporate citizenship program supports a company-wide volunteer week, volunteer service opportunities throughout the year, and drives addressing key social and economic factors affecting health (the social determinants of health): food, housing and economic security, and education.
