About American Hospital Association
The American Hospital Association pairs large-scale health policy support with hospital-focused grantmaking. In the recent grants list, the single largest award is $8,000,000 to Coalition to Strengthen America's Health Care, followed by $2,000,000 to the same organization in 2024. Those awards sit alongside other sizable support payments to policy and health-care advocacy groups, showing a funder that uses grants to back external organizations working on the hospital and health-system environment. The association also funds professional development and field infrastructure. It gave $1,200,000 to Aonl Foundation for Nursing Leadership Research and Education and $1,000,000 to Majority Forward in 2025, while smaller support payments went to organizations tied to workforce, care transformation, and health policy. The grant list includes recurring support for some recipients across multiple years, including Coalition to Strengthen America's Health Care, Coalition to Protect America's Health Care, Campaign for Sustainable Rx Pricing, Unidos US, Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (c-tac), National Academy of Sciences, and Association of University Programs in Health Administration (aupha). Its stated mission is to advance the health of individuals and communities and advocate for hospitals and health systems to provide high-quality, equitable, and affordable care. The recent awards reflect that mission through grants connected to advocacy, workforce development, health policy, and community health.
