Cigna Foundation Invites Applications for Health Promotion Projects


The Cigna Foundation, the charitable arm of the Cigna Corporation and its subsidiaries, supports organizations that share its commitment to enhancing the health of individuals and families, and the well-being of their communities, with a special focus on those communities where Cigna employees live and work.

The foundation focuses its funding in four areas: 

  • Promoting wellness by building awareness, helping people manage their health challenges, and making health services available and affordable for all;
  • Expanding opportunities by reaching across barriers to tap the talents of every person; 
  • Developing leaders by supporting the type of community service that gives talented individuals the experience to become future leaders; and
  • Embracing communities by connecting neighbors to create networks to address complex social and environmental challenges.

There is no maximum or minimum grant.  However, a typical first-time grant is $5,000.

Applications are considered throughout the year (though programs applying for a grant after October 15 cannot expect to receive funding until the next calendar year).
