Our mission is to lead our community to improved health.
Aultman Health Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by health access and community partnerships in Canton, with large commitments to Access Health Stark County, United Way Greater Stark County Inc, and Aultman College. Across the latest grants, the foundation appears to support both direct health-related work and the civic organizations that help sustain local systems, including hospitals, medical programs, and regional nonprofits. Its largest recent award in the data is a $507,957 corporate sponsorship to United Way Greater Stark County Inc, followed by a $340,265 contribution to Access Health Stark County and a $333,441 endowment gift to Aultman College. The foundation also backs community health infrastructure and related programs. Recent grants include support for My Community Health Center, The North Canton Medical Foundation, and Stark County Mental Health & Addiction Recovery. Other awards show attention to broader community-serving activity, such as arts campaigns, economic development, airport air-service development, and event sponsorships. The pattern suggests a local funder that combines health-focused grantmaking with partnership-based support for organizations shaping conditions around health in Stark County.
Healthcare delivery is a clear throughline in the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2023, it gave $153,742 to My Community Health Center for grant funding, and it also supported The North Canton Medical Foundation with $50,000 in 2025 for general support. Community health and access appear in multiple forms. Access Health Stark County received $40,000 in 2023 for support of Access Health Stark County, followed by $340,265 in 2024 and $270,239 in 2025 tied to later contributions. The foundation also awarded $77,142 to Stark County Mental Health & Addiction Recovery for general purpose. Its portfolio reaches into workforce and education as well. Aultman College received $333,441 in 2025 for endowment gifts, indicating support for medical education and workforce development. That theme fits alongside grantmaking to health providers and regional institutions that strengthen local care capacity.
Typical grants fall in a modest range, with a p25 of $15,000, a median of $20,000, and a p75 of $55,842. The recent list also includes several much larger commitments, which helps show that the foundation uses both routine operating-style grants and larger partnership awards. Recipients recur across years: Access Health Stark County, United Way Greater Stark County Inc, Arts in Stark, The North Canton Medical Foundation, Community Building Partnership, and Stark Economic Development Board all appear more than once. The foundation’s filings indicate program-related investments, and the grant history features sponsorships, pledges, general support, and multi-year funding partnerships.
