Since our company started in 1981, we have engaged the community beyond our business. Our company actively seeks ways to enhance the local community by supporting non-profit and health-based organizations.

Through our employee giving campaigns, sponsorships, and charitable giving, ConnectiCare provides up to a $1 million back to the community each year. For 2008, we gave approximately $700,000. ConnectiCare's top giving event is the annual United Way Campaign. In 2008, 65% of employees participated and raised $106,000 in donations. Since 1998, ConnectiCare has contributed $1,361,500 to the United Way of the Capital Area.

Part of our mission at ConnectiCare is to help improve the lives of our members, and with our Community Giving Program we have extended that mission to the broader community. ConnectiCare evaluates programs that center on wellness and prevention. Further, we look highly on programs that align with ConnectiCare’s health management programs for diabetes, heart disease, and asthma.

In addition, we will occasionally support programs that strengthen the communities’ social network and help foster healthy living. The following benefactors are just some of the organizations we traditionally support.

• American Lung Foundation
• American Red Cross
• Big Brothers and Big Sisters
• Camp Courant
• Connecticut Public Health Foundation
• Connecticut AIDS Resource Coalition
• Easter Seals
• Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
• Malta House of Care
