CVS Caremark Community Grants to Support Children With
Disabilities and Healthcare for the Uninsured

Deadline: October 31, 2007

CVS Caremark Community Grants target effective and
innovative
 programs that align with the company's philanthropic
values and
 criteria.

The 2007 Community Grants Program will focus on these
two key
 areas:

Programs targeting children under the age of 18 that
address any
 of the following:

1) Health and Rehabilitation Services -- grants
 to support programs that promote independence among
children
 with disabilities, including physical and occupational
therapies,
 speech and hearing therapies, assistive technology,
and recrea-
 tional therapies;
2) Public schools promoting a greater level of
 inclusion in student activities and extracurricular
programs --
 proposed programs must be fully inclusive insofar as
children
 with disabilities are full participants in early
childhood,
 adolescent, or teenage programs alongside their
typically devel-
 oping peers;
3) Creating opportunities or facilities that give
 greater access to physical movement and play -- 
proposed programs
 may include either physical activities or play
opportunities
 and should address the specific needs of the
population served.

Healthcare service for uninsured people: The CVS
Caremark Commun-
 ity Grants Program assures that more uninsured people
receive
 needed care, that the care received is of higher
quality, and
 that the uninsured are served by providers who
participate in
 accountable community healthcare programs. There is no
age limit
 on proposed programs that create greater access to
healthcare
 services.

To be eligible for funding, a CVS/pharmacy store must
be located
 within the state where the applicant organization
resides.

Visit the CVS Web site for program information and an
online
 eligibility quiz. Nonprofit organizations applying for
a Com-
 munity Grant for children with disabilities or for
healthcare
 for uninsured people are required to provide their EIN
number
 before they can begin the eligibility quiz. Public
schools
 applying for children with disabilities are not
required to
 provide an EIN number.
