The Community Wellbeing grant program
Giving back to the communities we serve
The Community Wellbeing grant program is strengthening our communities by providing $1,000 awards to non-profit organizations that promote health and wellbeing.
We received an overwhelming number of incredible applications in 2024 and as a result, we decided to increase the number of program recipients from 30 to 50! This change is here to stay so that we can support even more organizations that are making a difference in their communities.
Learn more about our 2023 Community Wellbeing recipients.
The program is now closed. Recipients will be notified in December.
