--- ## Description The Elevance Health Foundation’s Community Resiliency & Disaster Relief grant aims to bolster communities’ ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters. Funding supports nonprofit disaster-relief organizations and initiatives that provide essential resources such as food, shelter, medical care, mental health services, economic assistance, and infrastructure repair. The Foundation partners with leading organizations like the American Red Cross, Direct Relief, Americares, Team Rubicon, and Vibrant Emotional Health, and also encourages associate engagement and matching gift programs to maximize impact. Grants are awarded to programs demonstrating measurable benefits for disaster preparedness and recovery, with a focus on under-resourced and socially vulnerable communities. --- ## Due Dates - July 2026 (anticipated/projected application deadline for Community Resiliency & Disaster Relief) *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount - No fixed minimum or maximum award. - Grant sizes are determined by scope and organizational need; past awards have ranged from $500,000 (e.g., partnership level with American Red Cross) up to $10 million for major disaster response initiatives. - Typical grant duration is 1–3 years. --- ## Eligibility - Applicants must be nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status and classified as a public charity under section 509(a)(1) or (a)(3) (but not a type III non-functionally integrated organization). - Projects must address community resiliency and disaster relief, providing immediate or long-term support in disaster-affected areas. - Programs should target under-resourced and socially vulnerable communities. - Organizations must maintain tax-exempt status for the duration of the grant period. - National and local programs are eligible; emphasis is placed on scalability and measurable impact. --- ## Application Process - Review the [Community Resiliency & Disaster Relief overview](https://elevancehealth.foundation/community-resiliency-disaster-relief). - Download and review any available RFP or application guidance specific to this focus area (not always required for disaster relief, as the Foundation may also make rapid-response grants). - Complete the application via the Foundation’s online portal (see [For Grantseekers page](https://elevancehealth.foundation/for-grantseekers)). - After submission, applications cannot be revised; retain a copy for your records. - If awarded, grantees will coordinate with a Foundation grant manager for kickoff and reporting. - Progress reports are required twice yearly; a final report is due within 30 days of project completion. --- ## Additional Information - The Foundation may prioritize funding for programs with national reach or those addressing systemic change, but also supports local interventions. - Matching gifts and associate engagement programs may supplement grant funding. - Grantees must notify the Foundation of any changes in project scope, tax status, or inability to meet program goals. - Unspent funds at the end of the grant term may require a no-cost extension request. --- ## External Links - [Community Resiliency & Disaster Relief Program Page](https://elevancehealth.foundation/community-resiliency-disaster-relief) - [For Grantseekers – Application Portal & Guidance](https://elevancehealth.foundation/for-grantseekers) - [Frequently Asked Questions for Grantseekers (PDF)](https://elevancehealth.foundation/custom_assets/images/pdf/Grantseekers_FAQs.pdf) - [Contact Elevance Health Foundation](https://elevancehealth.foundation/contact-us) --- ## Contact Information | Contact | Details | |-------------------------|---------------------------------------------| | General Inquiries | [foundation@elevancehealth.com](mailto:foundation@elevancehealth.com) | | Online Contact Form | [Contact Us](https://elevancehealth.foundation/contact-us) |
