PUTNAM — Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation has announced that Putnam Lions Club Foundation, Inc. in Putnam was awarded $500 from the Foundation’s Community Spirit 9/11 Mini-Grant program. Mikayla Van Dam, an employee Health Plans, Inc., an affiliate of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, nominated the organization for the award. Funds will be used to support the class of 2020 graduation.
To commemorate those Harvard Pilgrim members who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, Harvard Pilgrim and the Foundation created the Community Spirit 9/11 Mini-Grant program. This program allows each Harvard Pilgrim employee to award a $500 grant, completely funded by the Foundation, to the local charity of his or her choice each calendar year. Since this community grants program began in 2002, Harvard Pilgrim employees have directed more than $6.5 million to thousands of organizations throughout Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.
