The Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation
(BCBSNC Foundation) has identified a number of program areas
where there is keen interest and support, as well as need. The
Foundation serves as a driving force behind the creation and
development of these unique partnerships, largely developed in
concert with other nonprofit organizations. Many of the Signature
Programs have evolved from their early stages to larger initiatives
that communities across the state have come to know and enjoy.
