Cigna Foundation World of Difference Grants

cigna globe

The Cigna Foundation is deeply committed to providing opportunities for individuals everywhere to achieve the best possible health. We pursue that goal through our World of Difference Grants. Our overall World of Difference focus is Health Equity, helping people overcome barriers to their health and well-being related to factors such as ethnicity, race, gender, age, geography, or economics. World of Difference Grants emphasize partnership: sharing the knowledge and expertise of Cigna's professionals with dedicated non-profit partners. We believe that together, we can make "A World of Difference" in both individual and community health.

To encourage Health Equity, we are currently seeking proposals from non-profit organizations engaged in eliminating Health Disparities and improving Community Health Navigation.

Community Health Navigation

These grants support projects that help individuals understand the particular Health Equity challenges affecting them, and assist them in finding services in their communities that address those challenges. Organizations seeking funding may do so in one of two ways, depending on their location.

Our World of Difference program is currently closed. Please check back to our Cigna Foundation website for further information on future funding opportunities.
