The mission of the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health, funded and selected by Blue Cross of Idaho employees, is to give back to the state through grants that increase access to healthcare and promote early detection and prevention of health issues. This is achieved via an annual employee giving campaign dedicated to supporting nonprofit organizations.
The Employee Community Fund grants aim to enhance healthcare access and encourage the prevention and early detection of health conditions. The grants support a range of focus areas and target populations with the goal of addressing health equity and supporting expansion through capital and material expenditures. The program is particularly focused on assisting seniors, underserved and underrepresented populations, veterans, and youth. Funding priorities include addressing health equity, supporting capital and material expenditures for expansion, and promoting growth opportunities for programs and services.
