CVS Caremark Offers Community Grants to Support Children With Disabilities and Healthcare for the Uninsured

CVS Caremark Community Grants target effective and innovative programs that align with the company's philanthropic values and criteria.

The 2007 Community Grants Program will focus on these two key areas:

Programs targeting children under the age of 18 that address any of the following: 1) Health and Rehabilitation Services — grants to support programs that promote independence among children with disabilities, including physical and occupational therapies, speech and hearing therapies, assistive technology, and recreational therapies; 2) Public schools promoting a greater level of inclusion in student activities and extracurricular programs — proposed programs must be fully inclusive insofar as children with disabilities are full participants in early childhood, adolescent, or teenage programs alongside their typically developing peers; 3) Creating opportunities or facilities that give greater access to physical movement and play — proposed programs may include either physical activities or play opportunities and should address the specific needs of the population served.

Healthcare service for uninsured people: The CVS Caremark Community Grants Program assures that more uninsured people receive needed care, that the care received is of higher quality, and that the uninsured are served by providers who participate in accountable community healthcare programs. There is no age limit on proposed programs that create greater access to healthcare services.

To be eligible for funding, a CVS/pharmacy store must be located within the state where the applicant organization resides.

Visit the CVS Web site for program information and an online eligibility quiz. Nonprofit organizations applying for a Community Grant for children with disabilities or for healthcare for uninsured people are required to provide their EIN number before they can begin the eligibility quiz. Public schools applying for children with disabilities are not required to provide an EIN number.
