Each quarter, the Penn Medicine CAREs Grant program invites LG Health employees and Medical & Dental Staff members to apply for grants on behalf of a not-for-profit organization for which they volunteer or their individual volunteer efforts.
Penn Medicine CAREs was established to offer institutional support to individuals and programs in the form of grants that can be used for the purchase of supplies and resources needed to perform work in the community. The program supports initiatives in the Lancaster and Philadelphia communities and at the nonprofits for which employees volunteer.
