The Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) Blue Impact℠ Grant Program supports nonprofit organizations working to improve community health and wellness across Texas. The program emphasizes addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) through five pillars: economic opportunity and stability, nutrition, neighborhood and built environment, locally defined health solutions, and optimal health outcomes. Grants range from $25,000 to $75,000 and are intended to support sustainable, measurable programs that address gaps in care and community needs. Capital campaigns are not eligible for funding under this program.
The 2025-2026 grant cycle runs from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The application process begins with a Letter of Intent (LOI) phase from January 20 to February 10, 2025. Organizations selected after the LOI phase will be invited to submit a full proposal between March 13 and March 28, 2025. Sponsorships, a separate funding option for smaller community events, range from $250 to $5,000 and are available throughout 2025.
