About Chc Creating Healthier Communities Local

Chc Creating Healthier Communities Local gives at both very large and mid-sized levels, with three recent awards to St Jude Children's Research Hospital totaling more than $1.2 million across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern shows a funder willing to sustain a single research and public-education partner over multiple years rather than only making isolated gifts. The foundation also supports health-focused organizations working on cancer prevention, maternal health, vaccination equity, and community health, including awards to Zero - the End of Prostate Cancer, Planned Parenthood Maryland, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Its grantmaking is not limited to one type of institution: the recent grants list includes hospitals, disease-specific nonprofits, food banks, and community-service groups. The common thread is health-related public benefit, especially work that translates research into public education, outreach, and community engagement. The foundation’s active programs also show an operating model built around partnerships, themed funds, and targeted initiatives, rather than a single open grant cycle. Across the record, the funder appears to favor organizations that can deliver health information, prevention services, or community support through established nonprofit channels.

What Chc Creating Healthier Communities Local Funds

A major part of the foundation’s work centers on research and public education in disease-specific health areas. St Jude Children's Research Hospital received $515,321 in 2023, $317,894 in 2024, and $389,466 in 2025, all tagged for research/public education. Similar research-education support went to Zero - the End of Prostate Cancer for $83,907 in 2024. Cancer-related public awareness also shows up in grants to Susan G Komen and Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Maternal health is another explicit priority through the Better Birth Initiative, which was launched with funding from Elevance Health Foundation to address maternal health disparities and reduce preterm births. On the community side, CHC also funded Greater Cleveland Food Bank, linking health support with broader basic-needs infrastructure. Vaccination equity is a distinct program area, especially in Georgia, where CHC backs HPV prevention, cervical cancer prevention, and community education.
