Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana has set up a grant fund of $2 million for nonprofits meeting the needs of Louisianians who have been affected by the coronavirus outbreak—this can include immediate needs like food, clothing, shelter, paying utility bills, and more. Additionally, there is a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana’s Employees 1st Fund, which will provide small grants to Blue Cross employees whose immediate families experience unforeseen financial hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
