We believe in Louisiana and its people.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana, or Louisiana Blue, is committed to the mission of improving the health and lives of Louisianians. Founded in New Orleans in 1934, Louisiana Blue is a tax-paying, not-for-profit health insurer with offices in every major region to serve our customers. The company has been recognized for the past seven years as an honoree of The Civic 50, named by Points of Light Foundation as one of the 50 most community-minded companies in the United States.
The Louisiana Blue Foundation is a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Together, Louisiana Blue and the Foundation invest around $4 million each year in the nonprofits that serve Louisiana’s people and communities.
Real change for Louisiana comes when regular people make a commitment to improving the lives of their friends, families and neighbors. Through our grants and support, we empower everyday people to do extraordinary good.
We connect people to resources. We support new ideas. Most importantly, we build partnerships. We know how to work with other nonprofit organizations, community leaders, legislators and healthcare decision-makers to make Louisiana a better place.
Because when it comes to the health of Louisiana, we’re all in it together. We know the power of unity and hope in addressing the challenges of our state — from hurricanes to oil spills to public health.
