CVS Caremark Community Program Grants for Programs That Help Children with Disabilities Lead Full Lives!


The CVS Community Grants Program focuses on inclusive programs and programs for children with disabilities under age 21; academic and enrichment programs at public schools; and programs that provide access to quality health care services and health education for at risk and underserved populations of all ages. NOTE: Requests for CVS Caremark Community Grants are accepted beginning on January 1 and ending on October 31.

Grant Requirements

Please note the following requirements for the Community Grant program:

  • Qualifying organizations are eligible for grants up to $5,000.
  • All nonprofit organizations applying for a Community Grant for this type of program ARE REQUIRED to provide their EIN
  • number before they can begin the eligibility quiz.
  • A CVS/pharmacy store must be located within the state where your community organization resides.
  • All CVS Caremark Community Grant Applications must be submitted online.

The Application Process

The CVS process requires that all applicants answer a number of questions pertaining to the program for which they are applying before gaining access to the application. These simple questions help us determine if your program falls within our guidelines. Once you select which type of grant you wish to apply for (children with disabilities, health care for the uninsured or underserved, or public schools) you will be taken to an online application tool that will present these pre-screening questions. If you are chosen to receive a grant, we request that grantees post volunteer opportunities on our website so that local associates can participate in your volunteer projects.

Once you pass our pre-screening process and complete the application/proposal form, you can expect an e-mail response within four to six weeks, whether or not your program has been chosen for funding.

Please do not call or e-mail us during the review process, as we will be unable to provide any additional information or status.
All nonprofit organizations applying for a Community Grant for this type of program ARE REQUIRED to provide their EIN number before they can begin the eligibility quiz. Please note public schools do not need an EIN to apply.

Grants to support inclusive programs and programs serving the needs of children with disabilities

We support programs targeting children under age 21 with disabilities that address any of the following:

Health and Rehabilitation Services – CVS believes that health and rehabilitation services are critical in ensuring that children with disabilities develop the skills needed to live as independently as possible at home, in school and in the community. Our CVS Caremark Community Grants support programs that promote independence among children with disabilities including physical and occupational therapies, speech and hearing therapies, assistive technology and recreational therapies.
Enabling and Encouraging Physical Movement and Play – We believe that play is essential to healthy development — physical, cognitive, emotional and social — and offers a means of understanding the world. Therefore, we are devoted to the principle of free play. The unstructured, spontaneous, voluntary activity that is so engaging for children has long been recognized as the most beneficial form. Proposed programs may include either physical activities or play opportunities for children and should address the specific needs of the population served.
