About Cencora Impact Foundation
Cencora Impact Foundation’s giving is built around access to healthcare for underserved human and animal populations, along with prescription drug safety and misuse prevention. In the recent grants list, that mission shows up through sizable general-support awards to organizations working in health response, patient support, and community access. Americares Foundation Inc received $600,000 in 2025 and $506,019 in 2024, while UNICEF USA Impact Fund for Children Inc received $500,203 in 2024. The foundation also backed Eluna with $404,813 in 2024 and $359,518 in 2025, showing repeat support across years. The foundation operates as an independent charitable giving organization established by Cencora Corporation. Its grantmaking is tied to a broad health agenda rather than a single service model, with programs covering human health, animal health, prescription drug safety, and global health access. Recent recipients include Direct Relief, Sostento Inc, Family Reach Foundation, Partners in Health a Nonprofit Corporation, and United Nations Foundation Inc, all funded through general support. That pattern suggests the foundation commonly funds organizations already active in health delivery, relief, and access work.
What Cencora Impact Foundation Funds
Human health is a central theme in the foundation’s recent grantmaking. Direct Relief received $355,790 in 2025 and $325,010 in 2023, both listed as general support, while Partners in Health a Nonprofit Corporation received $267,385 in 2025 for the same purpose. These awards fit the foundation’s focus on expanding access to healthcare for underserved populations. Prescription drug safety is another clear line of work. Sostento Inc received $350,000 in 2023, $250,000 in 2024, and $250,000 in 2025, all for general support, alongside a separate Prescription Drug Safety Grants program focused on safe disposal, misuse prevention, and mental health support. Animal health also appears in the foundation’s program structure, including service, companion, production animals, and disaster response. The foundation also funds broader child and family health-related work. UNICEF USA Impact Fund for Children Inc received $500,203 in 2024, and Family Reach Foundation received $276,724 in 2025, both as general support.
