The grant program from the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Foundation for Community & Health Advancement is designed to assist Arizona-based organizations in obtaining funding related to the Foundation's specific focus areas. These areas include dealing with chronic health conditions by improving access to screenings, medication, medical care, and lifestyle management; enhancing mental health resources, reducing stigma, and connecting people to care; increasing health equity by addressing social determinants of health; and investing in the prevention, treatment, and recovery of substance use disorders. The Foundation provides grants for programs and applied research projects and supports some charitable events each year. The grant aims to enhance programmatic impact and contribute to applied research in these critical health-related spheres.
Priority funding is awarded to initiatives that augment resources available to the public, possess scalability or the capability to enhance capacity at the system level, and demonstrate quantifiable outcomes.
