Cigna Giving
Cigna and our people work with leading charitable organizations that share our passion for health improvement and healthy choices. Our Cigna Giving program combines our financial resources and the commitment of our people to help make a difference.

The Cigna Giving program encompasses both direct financial support to worthy organizations and the community involvement of Cigna's people.

In 2010, Cigna and its people provided charitable support valued at approximately $8.8 million through the Cigna Giving program.

Financial Support
Cigna provides targeted financial assistance to nonprofit organizations globally in these ways:

Cigna Foundation Grants
Cigna Foundation grants are directed to non-profit, charitable organizations to support programs that meet our Healthier Community objectives. In 2010, the Cigna Foundation provided $1,888,993 in grants to organizations sharing our goals.

Cigna Civic Affairs Sponsorships
Cigna sponsors many events that benefit charities working in areas consistent with our goals of supporting the health of individuals, families and communities. These sponsorship opportunities are developed by our Cigna Civic Affairs team. In 2010, we provided $1,812,201 in sponsorship funding through the action of Civic Affairs.

Corporate Charitable Contributions
Awarded both directly and through event sponsorships to charitable organizations doing particularly valuable work in their communities, these giving opportunities are identified by members of the Cigna team in each of our global locations. In 2010, we provided $1,579,807 in Corporate Charitable Contributions.

Community Involvement
The people of Cigna are involved with their communities every day of the week, on the job and off. We support their passion for service in many ways.

We recognize especially effective volunteer efforts our people make on their own, outside of working hours, through our Volunteer of the Month and Volunteer of the Year awards.

Volunteerism is also a major part of our people's day-to-day experience during their working hours. Community service projects are popular team-building activities in many Cigna locations. Our Community Service Program—a corporate model—offers members of the Cigna team up to eight paid hours a year to volunteer.

Cigna's people are enthusiastic participants in a multitude of walkathons, marathons and other physically active fundraisers. We link healthy living and healthy giving by offering Cigna Foundation grants to charities designated by employees taking part in these and other healthy lifestyle activities.

Our people appreciate all that Cigna does to help them help others. And our communities appreciate their passion for one-on-one, hands-on service.
