About Us

Achieving our bold vision of enhancing human health around the world, every day, means that we completely support our clients’ missions. Yet, truly living into our vision requires us to think beyond our work at Constella to the communities where we work, serve, and live. Constella recognizes that employees' interest and commitment to enhancing human health extend beyond their support of client programs.

Constella is proud to support charitable endeavors that share our purpose to achieve a healthy and disease-free world. Through our Corporate Philanthropy Program, Constella honors our employees who give of themselves in their professional and personal lives by providing Enhancing Human Health grants to health-focused charitable organizations where employees actively volunteer.

Through the Corporate Philanthropy Program, Constella seeks to instill and encourage employee volunteerism, community service, and collective personal support for charitable efforts outside of Constella that support enhancing human health.

Constella has supported a wide range of philanthropic efforts, a few of which include:

• Reaching a Generation, Inc. (RaG-ZA), a non-profit charitable organization headquartered in South Africa, which strives to empower communities to provide relief care for HIV/AIDS orphans, HIV/AIDS prevention education for children and life-skills training for educators across South Africa. Constella’s grant will enable RaG-US to extend its existing website services, to create new collateral fundraising materials and to further develop a child sponsorship program in the United States.



• The Decatur Education Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that nurtures and supports academic achievement and enrichment opportunities for children in Decatur, Georgia. The grant will support “Strength and Conditioning,” a wellness program for selected adolescents, who are either overweight, at risk of becoming overweight or struggle with poor self-image. The program will offer fitness coaching to encourage physical activity and healthy eating habits.



• The Blue Diamond Society (BDS), an organization in Nepal that supports and protects the rights of sexual minority (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) communities. Its mission is to create societal acceptance of sexual minorities; to reduce stigma, discrimination, violence and brutality against sexual minorities; to reduce high-risk sexual behaviors and to encourage the use of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) services among sexual minorities to prevent STI/HIV infection. The organization also provides care and support for those sexual minorities who are HIV positive. BDS will use the grant to support its HIV/STD prevention and medical services.



• The Foundation for the University of North Carolina at Asheville (UNCA), offers a health and wellness program designed and facilitated by students enrolled in the health and wellness undergraduate curriculum. Getting Into Fitness Together (GIFT) is a program for families struggling with weight or fitness issues. Participants engage in physical activity and receive mentoring and incentives for healthy habits. GIFT 2007 families represented multiple minority groups where there is an increased likelihood of obesity and obesity-related disease. Constella will enable expansion of the program by covering the cost of equipment, supplies and incentives. The funding will also allow an honorarium for a student intern to assist in directing the program.



• The Prostate Net’s Going to the Barbershop to Fight Prostate Cancer, a campaign that enlists local barbers as health educators so they can, in turn, educate African American men about risk factors, prevention, early detection and treatment of prostate cancer. Constella is supporting The Prostate Net’s recruitment of barbers into the campaign. The grant will also be used to expand linkages to medical centers for free screening programs for patients and to expand community outreach activities.



• Stop the Silence: Stop Child Sexual Abuse, Inc., an organization founded in 2000 to increase awareness and address the prevention and treatment of CSA and to address the broader relationship of CSA to overall family and community violence. Constella’s grant will pay for the distribution and placement of public service announcements and other media promotion, vital tools for educating the public about the serious physical and psychological problems and societal effects resulting from CSA.



• Vibha, a volunteer-driven organization founded in 1991 with a mission to enable children’s health and development. Constella is supporting the organization’s child care programs, targeting poor hearing impaired children in Mumbai, India; and for poor children with mental disabilities in West Bengal, India. Specifically, Constella is helping to procure immunizations, hearing aids, health education, speech therapy, health education, physiotherapy, and other health-related services for these children.



• The White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood to support country-based national emergency and disaster response guidelines for pregnant women, women who have recently delivered, and infants. Founded in 1999, The White Ribbon Alliance is located in more than 71 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, North America, and Europe. It seeks to raise awareness and mobilize its resources to ensure that all women and newborns enjoy safe pregnancy and childbirth.
