About the Community Action Leadership Initiative

Building on our long-standing commitment to improve lives and communities, the Elevance Health Foundation has launched a new initiative—Community Action Leadership. Unlike the Foundation’s traditional grantmaking and impact investing initiatives, which engage subject-matter experts within our organization, our new Community Action Leadership initiative will bring together external thought leaders from across a range of disciplines. Through their collective expertise and resources, we will address large-scale community health needs and incentivize action for change.

This is a major opportunity—one that will encourage the Foundation to explore topics outside our core focus and allow us to continually assess the effectiveness of our long-term strategies. And it will generate innovative approaches that will positively affect the health of humanity.

Through this new program, we will bring experts together to collectively define philanthropy’s role in addressing large-scale community health needs and incentivize action for change. As such, our inaugural challenge will focus on the topic of patient safety.
