Our Community Outreach

At Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, we are passionate about strengthening and empowering the communities where our members and associates live and work. Advancing the health and wellbeing of children and families is essential to our corporate mission. Through strategic investment, targeted initiatives, and the civic leadership of our associates, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts works to improve the lives of families and communities in need.

Our Community Relations team devotes their time and expertise working within the community with a focus on making a measurable and sustainable impact in four primary areas:

1. Healthy Child Development—Supporting organizations that provide children with the resources needed to grow, learn, and achieve.

2. Education Enrichment—Promoting partnerships with programs that help young people become engaged learners, scholars, and leaders.

3. Healthy Environments and Family Nutrition—Creating safe neighborhoods and fostering organizations that encourage and increase community access to healthy produce, green spaces, and outdoor recreational activities.

4. Sustainable Health Care System—Supporting organizations focused on building a system that brings high-quality, affordable health care to the entire community.

In addition to our investments in nonprofit organizations, our community partnerships, and the work of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation, thousands of our associates have contributed their time to community events across the state through our corporate volunteer initiatives.

• The BlueCrew provides opportunities for associates to volunteer for community activities supporting social, environmental, health, and education related organizations.
  
  
• In partnership with community and business leaders, we work with educators to provide mentoring, academic and enrichment support, and internship opportunities to Massachusetts students through our school partnerships.
