At CIGNA, we give back. The communities where our employees live and work receive targeted grants and thousands of volunteer hours from CIGNA employees.

Our community commitment includes specific support for:

Women, Children & Families

We have contributed more than $17.5 million to the March of Dimes over the course of our 12-year partnership, and we are ongoing sponsors of the fund’s premature birth awareness campaign.

Our 10-year support of the Abbottsford Public Housing Development and Falls Family Practice of Philadelphia delivers medical care to 1000 uninsured families and helps lower the premature birth rate in the Philadelphia area.

Obesity Awareness

We are addressing this serious threat to our nation’s health by sponsoring The Healthy Kids Challenge, which provides education to elementary school students about proper nutrition and exercise. CIGNA also supports Shaping America's Youth, a series of nationwide town halls engaging Americans at the grassroots level about the dangers of childhood obesity.

Healthy Mind & Body

CIGNA is a sponsor of the MacPhail Center for the Arts in Minneapolis, which provides music therapy for children with disabilities, and the Children's Crisis Treatment Center of Philadelphia, a mental health service resource for abused, neglected or traumatized children.

Health Literacy

The CIGNA Foundation sponsored the "Practical Solutions to the Problems of Low Health Literacy" Conference hosted by the American College of Physicians. We also awarded Methodist Healthcare Foundation of Memphis a grant to help educate Tennesseans with poor health literacy who are at risk of developing diabetes.

Eliminating Gender and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care

CIGNA supports Bridging the Gaps, aimed at achieving better communication between doctors and patients from different backgrounds. The CIGNA Foundation also provided a grant to the Monmouth Family Health Care Center in New Jersey to support research into the effects of health care disparities faced by Latinos.
