Community Impact & Giving
The health of our members extends beyond their physical and mental wellness. Access to education, food, safe housing, and economic opportunity are all drivers of health. We are dedicated to fostering social cohesion and equitable access to resources and opportunities in our members’ communities. Partnerships with our health plans and outside organizations aim to create sustainable change and promote a healthier society.
Employee Service And Giving
Centene’s commitment to strengthening local communities includes supporting and amplifying team members’ service and charitable giving efforts. Our Centene ImpACT® program connects team members with measurable, verified service and giving opportunities that advance the missions of our strategic community partners. Employees are also provided with up to eight hours of paid time off annually to support eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations of their choosing, as well as additional time off to assist with medical or general efforts during medically declared states of emergency.
Additionally, Centene’s service and giving platform includes a charitable match program. Through this program, team members’ donations to eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations are matched dollar for dollar, up to a company-determined annual individual cap, by the Centene Foundation.
Centene Foundation
As the philanthropic arm of Centene Corporation, the Centene Foundation has become a leader in community health improvement through its unique, local approach to giving. The Foundation’s strategy is rooted in the understanding of the unique health challenges in each community and is focused on three strategic pillars: healthcare, social services, and education. The Foundation partners with community-based organizations and supports initiatives tailored to unique community needs. This approach ensures resources are directed toward addressing specific health disparities and social drivers of health to deliver meaningful, measurable outcomes.
