How to Request Funding

As of March 12, 2013, the Impact Grant program is temporarily suspended for review and assessment. No new applications are being considered at this time.

Qualified organizations can request funds through:

Corporate Sponsorships

  • Sponsorships usually offer Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana opportunities, such as advertising and event tickets, to promote and enhance our brands and/or increase business. These benefits are not required.
  • Sponsorships are used most often to conduct fundraising events. For example:
    • Luncheons
    • Walks/races
    • Conferences that help raise awareness of an organization's programs
