Anthem Blue Cross pledges $10M for LA wildfires support

Anthem Blue Cross and its foundation have pledged an initial $10 million in grants for disaster response efforts amid the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles County. 

The funding will go to national and community organizations focused on providing resources such as food, shelter, and medical care, along with long-term recovery aspects like mental health services, economic assistance, infrastructure repair and rebuilding efforts, the company said Jan. 10.

Elevance Health employees who donate to the foundation's disaster relief partner charities (American Red Cross, Tea, Rubicon and Direct Relief) will see a dollar-for-dollar match.

"We are deeply committed to California's residents with more than 6,800 of our associates calling California home," Beth Andersen, president of Anthem Blue Cross commercial plans, said. "We want our associates, members, care providers, and communities to know we stand with them. Together with our partners, Anthem Blue Cross and the Foundation will continue offering support now to help our neighbors impacted by wildfires rebuild their lives, businesses, livelihoods, and communities."
