Cigna Group Foundation invites applications for efforts to improve veteran mental health

The Cigna Group Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Cigna Group, has announced a new round of grants aimed at improving the mental health of military veterans.

The program aims to improve the mental health of military veterans by providing housing stability with support services so they can remain a vital part of their communities. The goals of this grant program include increasing permanent housing available for veterans; improving affordability of housing for veterans through rental or mortgage assistance; and enhancing the offering of wraparound services for veterans transitioning from shelters. Grants of $100,000 to $150,000 will be awarded.

The foundation will prioritize grants in regions where the Cigna Group serves a significant number of customers with high and very high social determinant of health risks, including Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas.

To be eligible, organizations must be tax-exempt as defined by section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Applications are due August 7, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET. Upon review, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full application, due September 16, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET.
