Humana celebrates giving

"Louisiana Benefits," Humana's charitable giving program in support of mind, body and spirit, was developed as an outgrowth of Humana's commitment as a corporate citizen of Louisiana.

Through this charitable competition, a one-time, $100,000 signature grant will be awarded to a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization based in Louisiana that is doing valuable work to benefit the people of Louisiana.

Humana's donation of $100,000 to a single Louisiana nonprofit will allow the organization to reach greater milestone goals. The winner is announced each winter at an awards ceremony in New Orleans at a venue to be determined.

Louisiana Benefits supports the following programs in Louisiana:

• Mind: projects or institutions that seek to improve the educational landscape resulting in higher levels of achievement
• Body: projects or human service agencies engaged in the promotion of healthy bodies and lifestyles
• Spirit: projects or civic & cultural development organizations that seek to inspire communities and enliven the human spirit

Organizations must meet the following criteria:

• Any not-for-profit organization that needs help in reaching its goals in the above categories (excluding political, social, religious, labor, or veteran's organizations) may apply.
• The group must be based in Louisiana.
• Recipients of the funded program must be from Louisiana exclusively.
• No more than 15% of the award can be applied to administrative salaries or consultants fees.
• Applicant must submit a grant application, including written proposal.
• Finalists must make a formal presentation before a panel of judges, in addition to providing an audited financial statement for the organization.
• Special consideration will be given to projects that:
  • Have outcomes which address the health and wellness needs of the community
  • Can be completed within a year with the one time grant
  • Will be able to continue without requiring additional financial support
