About American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (Ashp)
American Society of Health-system Pharmacists (ashp) uses its grantmaking to support the institutions and leadership structure around hospital and health-system pharmacy practice. The largest grants in the recent record go to the ASHP Research & Education Foundation, including $363,500 in 2023 and $358,550 in 2025 for general operating and program expenses. That pattern shows a funder that is closely tied to its own professional ecosystem, with grant dollars moving first to organizations that carry out education, research, and field support for pharmacists and pharmacy teams. A second clear thread is support for the employers of ASHP presidential officers. Multiple $15,000 grants were made to hospitals and health systems such as Presbyterian Medical Center, Hennepin Healthcare System Inc, the Regents of the University of Michigan, and University of Utah to offset support costs incurred during officers’ election terms. The smaller grants sit alongside larger institutional support, pointing to a mix of operating support and leadership-related reimbursements rather than project-based philanthropy. Across the recent grants listed here, every award went to a U.S. recipient.
What American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (Ashp) Funds
Two cause areas dominate the recent record. First is institutional support for pharmacy-focused organizations. In 2025, American Society of Health-system Pharmacists (ashp) gave $20,000 to The Pharmacy Technician Society Inc in Bethesda, Maryland for general operating and program expenses, alongside larger operating support to the ASHP Research & Education Foundation. Second is leadership support tied to elected officers. The foundation made $15,000 grants to employers of ASHP presidential officers, including Presbyterian Medical Center in Philadelphia, Hennepin Healthcare System Inc in Minneapolis, and the Regents of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, to offset support costs that institutions may incur during the officers’ election terms. The recent grants also show continuity in pharmacy education and professional infrastructure through recurring support for the ASHP Research & Education Foundation over multiple years.
How American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (Ashp) Gives
Typical awards are tightly clustered: the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile are $15,000, $15,000, and $16,250. The distribution is shaped by a few large operating grants and many small fixed grants at the $15,000 level. The foundation appears to give recurring support to the same organizations across years, especially the ASHP Research & Education Foundation and several employer institutions. It is not a funder of individuals, and the profile indicates no program-related investments. The recent record also suggests a structured, institution-based grantmaking model rather than an open application pool.
