The Prime Together Foundation continues its backing of equity efforts through 22 new grants, totaling $108,870, to support 501(c)3 community organizations that are working to address inequality and injustice in all its manifestations, particularly racism, poverty, health and hunger. This is the fourth round of grants allocated by the Foundation after Prime Therapeutics (Prime) started the nonprofit in 2020.  

“We are honored to give both our time and resources to incredible organizations who are making a difference in their communities through our Prime Together Foundation,” says Erin Feigal, senior vice president and chief human resources officer at Prime. “This is a record number of grants that the foundation has offered since its genesis, and we are excited to support the missions of these great organizations.”  

To date, the Prime Together Foundation has awarded $567,470 total in grants to 43 organizations and broadened its impact to 13 states. Among this year’s grant recipients are eight previous recipients and 14 new organizations. Many of the funds used to cover these grants have been generously donated by Prime employees, who support the mission and impact of the Foundation. 

“At Prime, we always aim to do what’s right for our members and clients,” said Kerry Florian, vice president, total rewards, and Prime Together Foundation board chair. “The Prime Together Foundation is an extension of that work, focusing on enhancing quality of life in our communities. Thank you to everyone who has supported the foundation since its inception in 2020, whether that’s through your time, talent or donations — you make these grants possible.”
