Program areas at Point32health Foundation
General operating grants: general operating grants invest in nonprofit organizations and community-led solutions that address inequities in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, new hampshire and rhode island.
Policy & advocacy grants: the Foundation supports policy and/or systems-level change to improve access to affordable, nutritious food and mental health services and to advance age-friendly solutions in communities. These activities are purposeful and intentional in elevating the voice of community, educating and informing decision-makers; and include key stakeholders and older people in policy and systems change.
Corporate citizenship (workplace giving/sponsorships): in 2023, the Point32health family of companies participated in corporate citizenship activities. This included Foundation investments in community through sponsorships, a match program that supports individual volunteering and/or financial contributions to qualified non-profit organizations up to $500 annually for each employee and up to $5,000 annually for members of Point32health and Foundation boards of directors. Donations made on #givingtuesday are matched two-for-one. Additionally, the Foundation matches up to $5,000 annually for employees at the director-level and above who serve on boards and offers employees up to the manager level an opportunity to direct a mini grant up to $300. All employees and board members are also eligible for an annual double match -- up to $1,000 - for donations made to organizations advancing racial and social justice. A match incentive for team-based volunteering encourages service to community. Additionally, the Foundation offers special match programs to support disaster response and relief efforts, and fundraising programs such as the walk to end alzheimer's and nami walks (to support the national alliance on mental illness). The corporate citizenship program supports a company-wide volunteer week, volunteer service opportunities throughout the year, and drives addressing key social and economic factors affecting health (the social determinants of health): food, housing and economic security, and education.
