Louisville Nonprofits Receive $2.2 Million through Humana Foundation’s Community Partners Program

The Humana Foundation, philanthropic arm of Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) for the past 38 years, is awarding $2.2 million to nonprofit organizations in Louisville as part of its ongoing Community Partners Program. The initiative began in 2018 and has since awarded more than $6 million to local nonprofits addressing social determinants of health and creating greater health equity for all in Humana’s corporate hometown. Initiatives funded by the 2020 Community Partners Program address social determinants of health in Louisville and focus on nutrition and food security, shelter, personal safety, healthcare services, built and natural environment, arts and culture, and education and early childhood development. Special consideration was given to organizations addressing historical and root causes of inequity, collaborative proposals, and initiatives with a strong focus on inclusion, diversity, equity and belonging. The Foundation also took into account the negative impact of COVID-19 and how the virus further marginalizes people in underserved communities.
