CVS Caremark Charitable Trust Offers Grants to Support Children with Disabilities and Uninsured or Underserved People With Healthcare Needs
Deadline: June 15, 2010

The CVS Caremark Charitable Trust, the private foundation of CVS Caremark Corporation, will award grants ranging between $10,000 and $50,000 to programs that help build skills, capabilities, and create opportunities for success for children under the age of 21 with disabilities. Applicant programs should address accessibility, inclusion, and awareness building; physical activity; early intervention; and rehabilitative services. Programs that promote wellness and obesity prevention for children of all abilities are also eligible.

The trust also offers grants to organizations that are dedicated to improving the quality of health and well-being of populations most difficult to reach, including uninsured or underserved seniors, adults, youth, and children. CVS Caremark Charitable Trust is particularly interested in programs that seek to provide a “medical home” for underserved populations and that provide screening, health promotion, and prevention efforts.

The CVS Caremark Charitable Trust accepts applications from organizations in forty-nine states, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. (The trust is not currently accepting applications from Alaska.)

Organizations can learn more and apply for a grant at the CVS Caremark Charitable Trust Web site.
