    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.

    What American Hospital Association Funds

    Health policy and advocacy appear throughout the recent awards. The American Hospital Association gave $8,000,000 to Coalition to Strengthen America's Health Care and also provided $500,000 to One Nation, both as support payments tied to the policy environment around care delivery. Workforce development is another visible area. In 2025, the association awarded $1,200,000 to Aonl Foundation for Nursing Leadership Research and Education and $70,000 to Healthcare Workforce Coalition, pointing to support for nursing leadership and broader staffing issues. The list also includes grants tied to affordability and care redesign. Campaign for Sustainable Rx Pricing received $110,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2023, while Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (c-tac) received $50,000 in both 2024 and 2023. Community health and equity show up in awards to Unidos US and National Urban League.

    How American Hospital Association Gives

    Typical grants fall in a mid-five-figure range, with p25 at $21,125, median at $25,936, and p75 at $50,000. The recent list also shows a few very large outliers, including an $8,000,000 support payment and a $2,000,000 payment. This is a Pure DAF Provider, and the grants are mostly support payments rather than project-specific awards. The same recipients appear in 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). The active programs also include unsolicited opportunities such as the Foster G. McGaw Prize, the AHA Next Generation Leaders Fellowship, and the Rural Health Fund (AHA).

    Where American Hospital Association Makes Grants

    The grantmaking is national, and every recent grant listed goes to a U.S. recipient. Illinois is the top state by grant count, though only 9% of grants land there. Recent recipient cities include Washington, DC; Chicago, IL; New York, NY; Rockville, MD; Raleigh, NC; Seattle, WA; Haymarket, VA; Sioux Falls, SD; and Washington, DC again across multiple awards. The distribution shows a strong concentration in the nation’s capital, with several awards also reaching hospital, policy, and academic organizations in other major metro areas.
