The BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina Foundation awards Catalyst Grants to organizations that promote and support healthier South Carolinians, particularly the economically vulnerable. In 2019, Children’s Trust was named as one of 13 organizations to receive a grant for projects that foster innovation to improve the health and well-being of those throughout the state.
Here’s what the foundation said about our initiative in its Feb. 11 news release.
“Children’s Trust of South Carolina — Through its Race Equity and Inclusion Partnership project, the Children’s Trust of South Carolina will develop and promote a list of informed policies and practices to advance race equity and inclusion. Race equity and inclusion is a growing area of interest in public health, with the idea that breaking down barriers from institutional racism will allow individuals opportunities to reach their full potential.”
