PITTSBURGH, Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Highmark Inc. recently awarded $9,500 to 19 nonprofit organizations in Pennsylvania to support programs with which Highmark employees volunteer. Grants were awarded to initiatives that promote physical activity, provide nature, arts and culture education and raise funds to provide access to health care services.

Highmark recognizes that its employee volunteers know best the most pressing needs of the organizations where they volunteer. Through the Employee Volunteer Grant Program, employees are invited to apply for a $500 grant to support an organization that they commit their time and energy to.

The grants awarded each quarter through the Employee Volunteer Grant Program are generally given to organizations that do not already receive significant contributions through Highmark's corporate giving. An organization is eligible to receive one grant each year through the program.

The following organizations received grants through the Highmark Employee Volunteer Grant Program during the third quarter of 2008.
