About Elevance Health Foundation
Elevance Health Foundation concentrates large, strategic gifts on health-related partnerships that align with its corporate mission. Its giving emphasizes food-security interventions tied to health outcomes, maternal/infant health research in high-risk communities, and corporate associate engagement platforms; a single very large, attached grant dominates the portfolio. The foundation tends to fund established national intermediaries and recurring partners to scale health-impact programs rather than many small community grants.

About Elevance Health Foundation
Elevance Health Foundation Inc. made a $28,175,622 attached grant in 2023, the largest item in its recent portfolio, and that scale helps define how the foundation operates. Alongside that flagship award, its giving repeatedly supports health-related partnerships that combine food access, maternal and infant health, behavioral health, and community health infrastructure. The foundation’s recent grants show a preference for sizable, programmatic commitments rather than a broad spread of small awards. Feeding America appears as a recurring partner in Food as Medicine work, including grants for a national program that connects food-insecure patients with nutritious food resources. Maternal health also receives sustained attention through multi-year and strategic support for organizations working to reduce preterm births, improve maternal outcomes, and expand community-based birth support. The foundation also funds initiatives aimed at substance use disorder, patient safety, and disaster relief. Its portfolio suggests a funder that uses large grants to back established intermediaries, training efforts, and scalable models tied to health outcomes. Rather than separate, one-off causes, the awards cluster around health equity themes that align with clinical care, social drivers of health, and community-based intervention.
What Elevance Health Foundation Funds
Food as Medicine is one of the clearest themes in the portfolio. Elevance Health Foundation Inc. gave $4,700,000 in 2024 and two $2,350,000 grants in 2025 to Feeding America for its Food as Medicine program, showing repeated support for a national nutrition-access model. Maternal health is another major area. The foundation awarded $2,333,333 in 2024 to CHC Creating Healthier Communities for a study using the Jackson-Hogue-Phillips Contextualized Stress Measure to reduce preterm births, and $1,000,000 in 2025 to Centering Healthcare Institute to increase access to CenteringPregnancy at FQHCs. Behavioral health and stigma reduction also appear in the recent grants. In 2024 and 2025, it funded Shatterproof for work reducing healthcare providers’ addiction stigma, while Mental Health America received awards for feasibility trials of online screening for early intervention for substance use disorders. Disaster response is present as well through support for the American National Red Cross’s Annual Disaster Giving Program.
