Our mission

The AmeriHealth Caritas Foundation invests in community relationships, supports, and opportunities children, youth, and families need to thrive. 

Through our partnerships, we support healthy starts for children, youth development, caregiver and family well-being, and access to resources that help families build stability and opportunity. 

Our work supports families from pregnancy and early childhood through the transition to adulthood, centering on the people, relationships, and communities that shape who a child becomes.

Our investment priorities

Supporting healthy starts and caregiver well-being

Children can thrive when caregivers have the supports, connections, and resources they need to nurture healthy development and family well-being.

Strengthening youth development

Young people can thrive when they have strong relationships, opportunities to grow, and environments that foster confidence, belonging, leadership, and purpose.

Fostering family stability and essential supports

Strong families are the foundation of thriving communities. We support efforts that help families navigate challenges, strengthen stability, and create pathways to opportunity.

 

Partners in action

Across our communities, nonprofit partners are creating opportunities for children and youth to learn and grow, helping caregivers and families thrive.
