BlueAngel Community Health Grants
For more than 25 years, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island has invested in programs that help Rhode Islanders live healthier lives. Through the BlueAngel Community Health Grant program, we support nonprofit organizations addressing the social drivers that shape health and well-being in communities across the state.
Guided by insights from the RI Life Index partnership with the Brown University School of Public Health, the program invests in four priority areas that help advance health and well-being across Rhode Island.
- Healthy housing – safe and affordable homes
- Healthy food – access to nutritious food
- Healthy moms – maternal health and well-being
- Healthy minds – youth mental health and wellness
