PHOENIX, AZ – May 5, 2008 – Phoenix-area charities are invited to apply for a $100,000 grant in the Arizona Benefits charitable awards program, created and funded by health benefits company Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM). The program is designed to give local not-for-profit, 501(c)(3), charitable organizations the opportunity to receive a one-time infusion of funding in order to create new programs or enhance ongoing activities that seek to improve the mind, body or spirit of the greater Phoenix area residents. Applications for the grant are available at www.ArizonaBenefits.org.
Humana of Arizona is now accepting applications from not-for-profit organizations. The application deadline is Monday, June 30, at 5 p.m., and the winner will be announced at a celebration dinner in September.
"Arizona Benefits is an opportunity for Humana to fund vital community needs in a large, meaningful way," said Debbie Smith, regional president of Senior Products for Humana's Western region.
