CVS Foundation

The CVS Caremark Charitable Trust announced today that $3.3 million in grants have been awarded to 72 nonprofit organizations across the country. About half of these grants align with CVS Caremark All Kids Can, a signature program focused on making life easier for children with disabilities and their families. The other half of the grants will provide much-needed support for medical services for the under and uninsured - a population that continues to grow in the downward economy. While the grants fund a wide range of programs, the CVS Caremark Charitable Trust found that approximately 65 percent of the 2010 grant recipients will use the support to address four key areas, including autism and early intervention services; informational and technology tools; life and workforce skills; and access to health care and medical services.
