Program Overview

As one of Georgia’s leading nonprofit health plans, Kaiser Permanente’s mission is to improve the health of our members, and the communities we serve. We work towards this goal through a variety of Community Benefit programs, including the charitable grants program. Through our Community Benefit grants program, Kaiser Permanente of Georgia supports many eligible nonprofit programs whose work aligns with our funding priorities and supports vulnerable populations.

Eligible nonprofit organizations located in the Kaiser Permanente of Georgia service area, and whose proposed grant-supported programs will be located in the service area, may apply for support (see guidelines and applications for detail).

Community Grants

Kaiser Permanente of Georgia makes contributions to nonprofits and government organizations to improve access to health care, inform health policy, and implement programs that promote and improve health. From safety net clinics to community gardens to initiatives that reduce chronic disease, we support health-impacting projects that align with our funding priorities.

Organizations and funded programs must be based in at least one county in our 29-county service area: Barrow, Bartow, Butts, Carroll, Cherokee, Clarke, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, Dawson, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, Haralson, Heard, Henry, Lamar, Meriwether, Newton, Paulding, Pickens, Pike, Rockdale, Spalding, and Walton.

Q:What is Community Benefit?

Kaiser Permanente of Georgia cares for people – both inside and outside of the exam room. As a non-profit, tax exempt health plan, our idea of health care goes beyond the walls of our medical facilities and into the communities we serve.

Community Benefit supports efforts that improve access to care for all – especially the low-income and underserved – and create healthy, vibrant communities. We work to benefit the community at-large by addressing issues and concerns that affect its overall health.

Community Benefit is more than what we do; it’s who we are.
