Kaiser Permanente Announces $782,000 In Grants To Local Organizations Serving Community
Kaiser Permanente in the Napa-Solano Area is awarding $782,000 in grants to local non-profit organizations that improve the health of under-served communities in Napa and Solano counties.
Kaiser Permanente Community Benefit grants are awarded every year to local organizations working on specific programs and projects that align with Kaiser Permanente’s missions and goals.
The Napa-Solano grantmaking program supports local non-profit, public health, and human service organizations by investing in programs with a focus on improving access to care and coverage; community and family safety; mental health and wellness; and Healthy Eating Active Living.
“Our Community Benefit program reflects the diverse needs of Napa and Solano counties,” says Molly Bergstrom, community benefit manager for Kaiser Permanente’s Napa-Solano Area. “We are proud to support work that makes a difference in so many lives.
