CVS Caremark supports communities in a variety of ways.
CVS Caremark Charitable Trust Foundation
The CVS Caremark Charitable Trust is the private foundation of CVS Caremark Corporation and provides grants which range from $10,000 to $50,000 for one-year support. These grants align with the CVS Caremark Charitable Trust's efforts to improve the quality of health and well-being of underserved populations and also align with CVS Caremark All Kids Can, a signature program of the CVS Caremark Charitable Trust and CVS Caremark that is committed to supporting children with disabilities. The Trust also provides scholarship support for students in college, with a particular focus on pharmacy school scholarships. The 2012 CVS Caremark Charitable Trust Grant Process is now closed.
