The Blue Foundation, affiliated with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, gave around $608,000 to 11 nonprofit health care groups. The recipients were chosen based on their ability to “reach state residents who normally have little access to health care.” The Healthy Start Coalition of Jefferson, Madison and Taylor counties in Greenville, Fla. received the largest grant, for $99,930.
The New York Life Foundation, an affiliate of New York Life Insurance Company, has awarded 6 groups in Westchester, N.Y. $119,300. The largest amount, for $25,000, will go to the Child Care Council of Westchester, helping to partially pay for a summer literacy program for low-income children.
