Giving kids the power to walk, run, and dream. ASHAC is a 501(c)(3) charity that helps children in central Ohio with expenses for medical care (burns, orthopedic conditions, cleft lip and palate, spinal cord injuries), transportation to Shriners Hospitals for Children, and specialized equipment such as wheelchairs and orthotics.
Aladdin Shriners Hospital Association for Children Inc. directs most of its giving to medical equipment and child health support in central Ohio, with repeated six-figure grants to Shriners Children's Erie, Shriners Children's Lexington, and Shriners Children's Ohio. The pattern is clear in the recent grants list: the foundation backs hospitals and local agencies that serve children with burns, orthopedic conditions, cleft lip and palate, and spinal cord injuries, while also supporting transportation, lodging, and specialized equipment tied to care. Its grants reach healthcare providers, schools, fire departments, and community organizations that help children obtain or access treatment. A recurring thread is equipment enablement. Large grants to Shriners Children’s hospitals are paired with smaller awards to local institutions such as Heinzerling Community, Hocking Valley Community Hospital, and public safety agencies. The foundation also funds local requests through its annual distribution and community distribution programs, which extend its mission beyond hospital settings into nearby community support for children with related medical needs. In the current filing year, its grant activity totals $1,357,813.
Medical equipment is the strongest visible theme in the recent awards. Shriners Children’s Lexington received $100,000 in 2024 and another $100,000 in 2025 for medical equipment, while Shriners Children’s Ohio also received $100,000 in 2024 and 2025 for the same purpose. The foundation pairs those hospital grants with support for local providers and agencies. Heinzerling Community received $27,654 in 2024 and $10,428 in 2025, both for medical equipment. Community health facilities also appear in the list: Hocking Valley Community Hospital received $16,646 in 2024 and $9,792 in 2023. Public safety and school-related awards show another lane of support, including Finley Fire Equipment at $74,030 in 2024 and Pioneer School Boosters Club Inc at $9,977 in 2025.
Typical grant size is modest relative to the largest awards, with a p25 of $8,044, a median of $9,995, and a p75 of $26,132. The distribution includes a few six-figure hospital grants alongside many grants clustered around $10,000 or less. The recent grants show repeated support to the same recipients across multiple years, including hospital awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025 and renewed support for local organizations such as Heinzerling Community and Ohio Sled Hockey. The foundation operates as a charity with active patient-assistance, annual distribution, and community distribution programs. Those programs accept unsolicited requests.
