The foundation aims to tackle the state’s toughest health challenges, focusing on mental health, health equity, chronic health conditions and substance use disorder.
With mental health as the flagship focus, the foundation is committing $5 million over three years to invest in expanding statewide resources, reducing stigma about mental health, and connecting people to care that promotes positive mental health and saves lives.
By cultivating cross-sector partnerships, the foundation funds grants that support programs and applied research to help expand and accelerate programs and services that improve well-being and reduce health disparities. As of June 2022, the foundation has granted more than $1.3 million to 19 Arizona community organizations addressing mental health.
At BCBSAZ, we believe there is no better investment to make than in the health of our state and, through the foundation, we aim to uplift Arizona’s communities. To learn more about the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Foundation for Community & Health Advancement visit
