Kaiser Permanente Announces More Than $900,000 in Grants to Local Organizations

Kaiser Permanente in the Napa Solano Area is awarding $910,000 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 health care; Healthy Eating Active Living; creating safe environments; and workforce development.

“Kaiser Permanente is dedicated to helping make a difference in the community,” says Cynthia Verrett, community benefit manager for Kaiser Permanente’s Napa Solano Area. “We’ve established strong partnerships within our communities and look forward to having an even greater outreach and impact in serving the diverse needs of the Napa and Solano areas.
