About Caresource
CareSource’s largest recent grants are a series of $3.5 million awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025 made on behalf of its supported organizations. That pattern points to a funder that uses significant pass-through support alongside direct community grantmaking. Across the recent grants list, the foundation backs health-related work, family services, housing and food support, and community convenings tied to its members’ lives and well-being. Recent awards show the breadth of that approach. The CareSource Foundation gave $1 million to Ohio’s Hospice Inc. for general support and another $1 million to United Church Homes Inc. for general support. It also awarded $1 million to Fostering Success Act Inc. for general support, indicating support for child welfare and family stability. Other sizable grants include $325,000 to Boys & Girls Club of Dayton Inc. for Spark 2023 and general support, $314,598 to The Foodbank Inc. for general support, and $300,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Dayton for general support. The foundation’s stated purpose is to invest in initiatives and organizations that improve health and well-being.
What Caresource Funds
Health education is a recurring theme in the recent grants. CareSource gave $300,000 to the American Heart Association for health education focused on chronic conditions, prescription program support at a local health clinic, and AED replacement and installation. Maternal and perinatal health also appears in the grant list. Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies Coalition of Georg received $120,000 for staffing the HEART of Georgia program, supporting the Pickles & Ice Cream perinatal education program, and funding individuals in a building perinatal support professional program. In child and family support, the foundation awarded $200,000 to Safe Families for Children for community investment. Food insecurity is another clear area: The Foodbank Inc. received $314,598 for general support, and this aligns with the foundation’s broader focus on social drivers of health. Mental health shows up in a 2025 award to the University of Dayton for a Spotlight on Mental Health exhibition game sponsorship.
How Caresource Gives
CareSource’s typical grant size sits at a median of $21,000, with a lower quartile of $10,000 and an upper quartile of $67,004. The recent list also includes a separate pass-through pattern at $3.5 million in multiple years, showing that the foundation makes both very large support payments and smaller community grants. Recent entries span 2023 through 2025, suggesting ongoing grantmaking rather than a one-time cycle. The foundation also makes program-related investments. Its community grants and grant challenges include unsolicited options in some programs, especially in Florida and Nevada.
