Empowering Communities: Superior HealthPlan’s Grant Initiative
Empowering Communities: Superior HealthPlan’s Grant Initiative
Community-based organizations and providers are invited to apply for funding through March 31, 2025. Superior HealthPlan, a prominent managed care organization dedicated to improving health services, is rolling out its annual grant program aimed at supporting initiatives that address critical health challenges.
As part of its ongoing commitment, Superior HealthPlan, a subsidiary of Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC), will accept applications from entities serving the Medicaid population in need of financial assistance. This grant program underscores the significance of social factors influencing health, often referred to as social determinants of health, and aims to extend support to underserved neighborhoods.
Mark Sanders, President and CEO of Superior HealthPlan, expressed enthusiasm for the grant program, stating, "We are pleased to continue the Superior HealthPlan grant program that will support organizations and providers in making a positive impact in our communities. Superior has provided these community grants for years and is looking forward to continuing this important program." His vision reflects a proactive approach to tackling health inequities across the regions they serve.
Since the program’s inception in 2020, Superior HealthPlan has contributed over $740,000 in funding to aid various community partners and service providers. These funds focus on alleviating obstacles to health and wellness, such as food security, economic stability, accessible housing, education, and several other essential needs.
The 2025 cycle of the grant program will see ten community organizations and ten providers awarded $10,000 each, culminating in a total investment of $200,000. This funding is expected to be disbursed in April, empowering recipients to implement meaningful projects.
Organizations interested in applying for the grants must meet specific criteria. These include ensuring services are directed towards the Medicaid population and commitments to detailed reporting on outcomes by December 15 following the grant's allocation. Importantly, the funds are designated for essential resources and initiatives, meaning they cannot be used for covering staff salaries or benefits.
To be eligible for this grant, all applicants must be based in Texas, serving its residents and ensuring all required documentation, such as signed agreements and vendor forms, are submitted by April 30, 2025. Applications are due by March 31, 2025. The initiative encourages organizations to learn more and interact with the application process through their designated platform.
