Kaiser Permanente awards $868,900 in grants

Kaiser Permanente in the Diablo Area is awarding $868,900 in grants to 34 non-profit organizations that improve the health of under-served communities in Central and East Contra Costa County, and the Tri-Valley area of Alameda County.

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 Diablo grant-making program supports local non-profit, public health, and human service organizations by investing in programs with a focus on improving access to care and coverage; mental health and wellness; and Healthy Eating Active Living.

“We are proud to support organizations that are making a difference in the community,” says Molly Bergstrom, community benefit manager for Kaiser Permanente’s Diablo Service Area. “Ensuring access to these vital services and programs helps improve the health of our entire communities, where we all live, work and play.”
