About the Foundation

The Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation continued its targeted grantmaking efforts in 2009, funding health programs and initiatives that are working to improve the health of Mississippians. The impact of these efforts is being seen around the state, especially at the local level through community-based programs.

Physical activity is becoming more prevalent in schools, as Project Fit America continues its reach throughout the state. Kids everywhere are becoming more active and learning lifestyle choices that will support a healthy lifestyle now, and in the future. Communities are also taking advantage of their leadership role by supporting programs conducive to improving the health of their citizens.

Mississippi continues to make progress toward a healthier future, and the Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation is facilitating this progress by providing the resources, funding and leadership needed to continue in our commitment to a healthier Mississippi.
