San Francisco (Mar. 5, 2020) — NORCAL Group Foundation is pleased to announce grant funding awards for nine community healthcare programs spanning five states.

Julie Burns, president of the NORCAL Group Foundation, stated that the Board was moved by the unique and innovative ways in which the grantees will use the Foundation’s financial support to genuinely impact their respective communities. “From providing free dental screenings at public libraries in underserved communities to virtual support groups for family caregivers, we feel privileged to be a part of program success for these organizations,” said Burns.
Since its launch in 2017, the NORCAL Group Foundation has awarded grants to 37 programs. The Foundation formalizes NORCAL Group’s more than 40-year commitment of giving and advocacy in our caregiver communities to support the practice of good medicine.
