To preserve reproductive services, to promote health and wellness, and to advocate for quality healthcare through grant making and education in Clark and Champaign Counties.
Community Hospital Health Services Foundation’s giving shows a clear pattern: it supports health access, reproductive services, and wellness programs in Clark and Champaign Counties, with Springfield organizations appearing repeatedly in the recent-grants list. In 2025, one of its larger awards went to Rocking Horse Center for the Purple Apron Program, maternal/infant health, dental care, and community health worker work, while Clark County Combined Health District received funding for Start Strong, Health Ministry, and the Sexual Health and Wellness Clinic. Those grants sit alongside earlier support for local health systems, food assistance, housing, and school-based services, reflecting a foundation that funds both direct care and the community conditions around it. The foundation also backs reproductive health education and services through grants to Planned Parenthood and Pregnancy Resource Clinic, showing that its health portfolio includes both clinical access and education. Across the grant list, recipients are overwhelmingly local and often multi-service organizations serving residents of Springfield and nearby communities.
A major theme is reproductive and maternal health. The foundation gave $15,000 to Planned Parenthood in 2023 for reproductive health care and education, and another $15,000 to Pregnancy Resource Clinic for early prenatal care. It also funded Clark County Combined Health District for maternal and infant vitality work and a sexual health and wellness clinic. Behavioral health and recovery appear in its grantmaking as well. Citilookout Counseling Center received $25,000 for a trauma recovery center grant, while McKinley Hall was awarded $19,400 for the CLFC initiative. The foundation also supports basic needs tied to health. Second Harvest Food Bank received $55,250 for the Child Summer Power Pack Grant, and Jefferson Street Oasis was funded for neighborhood outreach and a residents growing healthy food grant.
Typical grants cluster in the five-figure range, with a p25 of $7,500, a median of $10,000, and a p75 of $16,750. The recent-grants list also includes larger, program-specific awards in the tens and hundreds of thousands, suggesting a mix of smaller community grants and larger service-delivery support. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Rocking Horse Center, Clark County Combined Health District, Second Harvest Food Bank, Hope, Project Woman, Jefferson Street Oasis, and Planned Parenthood, indicating recurring relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation accepts unsolicited applications through its Responsive Grants program, and its Mini Grants program is open anytime for requests up to $1,000.
