The CVS/pharmacy Charitable Trust, a private foundation managed by the Rhode Island-based drugstore chain CVS Corp., has awarded more than $5 million in grants to nonprofit groups with programs serving children with disabilities.
Awards were made in 22 states, the trust said. Among Massachusetts groups getting funding were the Children's Hospital Boston Center for Communication Disorders and Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown.
"CVS strongly believes in giving back to the communities where we work and live," Eileen Howard Dunn, a vice president of the trust, said in a prepared statement.
