DRAPER, Utah, Oct. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HealthEquity, Inc. (Nasdaq: HQY) (“HealthEquity”), the leader in Health Savings Account (HSA) and consumer-directed benefits administration, today announced the launch of its new HealthEquity Community Foundation. Dedicated to building healthcare literacy and confidence in communities across the United States, the Foundation’s initial focus will be on providing grants to nonprofit charitable organizations.

Now, with the launch of the HealthEquity Community Foundation, we’re ready to expand our efforts to create equitable health outcomes, enhance education, and provide support for communities that need attention and resources,” said Jon Kessler, president and CEO of HealthEquity.

In its first year, the HealthEquity Community Foundation has committed to providing grants to charitable nonprofit organizations whose work is focused on one or more of four focus areas:

  • Basic Human Needs: charitable nonprofit organizations providing basic human needs for safety, access to housing, and food security.

Grant applications in these areas will be reviewed based on the overall opportunity and impact in the community.
