The Centene Charitable Foundation aims to transform the health of communities one person at a time, emphasizing inclusion, the whole person, and community development. It seeks a measurable impact through partnerships and philanthropy that invest in holistic approaches to dismantling health barriers, focusing on those relying on government-sponsored healthcare and addressing social determinants of health and health equity.
The grant program supports initiatives in three key areas: Healthcare Access, Social Services, and Education. It prioritizes projects that enhance corporate citizenship by investing in local organizations familiar with their communities. The program's guiding principles are to foster inclusion, support the whole person, and contribute to community development, reflecting Centene's commitment to meeting the needs of those dependent on government-sponsored healthcare, and addressing the social determinants of health and health equity.
