About Consumer Healthcare Products Association
A single public-education theme ties the Consumer Healthcare Products Association’s grantmaking together: safe use of over-the-counter medicines, health literacy, and self-care. Through its Health In Hand Foundation grantmaking and education initiatives, the association supports work such as Know Your Dose and OTC Pain Reliever Education, with grants that are generally small to mid-sized and aimed at sustaining organizations rather than funding discrete projects. Recent awards also show repeated support for groups working on addiction prevention, asthma and allergy education, and consumer-focused health communication. The pattern is consistent across years. Partnership to End Addiction received the largest recent award at $105,000 in 2023, followed by additional support in 2024 and 2025. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation also appears multiple times, including awards of $90,000 in 2023 and $75,000 in 2024. Other recurring grantees include Community Anti-drug Coalitions of America, Attorney General Alliance, and American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education. The result is a grantmaker that backs organizations positioned to inform consumers, convene professionals, and reinforce public understanding around everyday health decisions.
What Consumer Healthcare Products Association Funds
Health education is a central thread in the portfolio. The Health In Hand Foundation supports public education initiatives related to safe use of over-the-counter medicines, including examples such as Know Your Dose and OTC Pain Reliever Education. The association also funds work tied to addiction prevention and community coalitions. It gave $105,000 to Partnership to End Addiction in 2023 for general support and continued with $75,000 in 2024 and $55,000 in 2025. A second area is respiratory and allergy-related public education. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation received $90,000 in 2023, $75,000 in 2024, and $25,000 in 2025, all as general support. It also backed Safe Kids Worldwide with $20,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024. Consumer and professional health information groups appear as well, including the American Botanical Council and the National Consumer League.

Many awards cluster around round-number general support grants, and several recipients appear in multiple years, which points to recurring support rather than one-off funding.

The foundation’s grantmaking is structured around nonprofit and convening organizations, with recurring annual support showing up across several grantees.
