Volunteer

Humana and The Humana Foundation recognize the importance of giving back and the effect it has on the health of our communities, including our own employee community. That’s why Humana employees have contributed more than one million hours volunteering in their communities since 2007.

Spirit of Philanthropy Award

The Spirit of Philanthropy Award is given to a department or group of Humana employees who display exceptional commitment to the community through volunteerism.
