Centene believes that successful corporate citizenship is defined by investments in community-based institutions and organizations that address the needs of communities while advancing initiatives that focus on inclusion, the whole person, and community development.

Since 2004, the Centene Charitable Foundation has sought to make a difference in the communities we serve by investing in innovative programs and services that embrace all populations regardless of ability, age, race or economic status. A central element of Centene's business strategy involves our focus on holistic wellness. That principle has shaped our approach to community investments, paving the way for Centene to continue its support of long-term and far-reaching initiatives that bring the arts, education, and health to every population regardless of barriers that may exist.
