We Care. We Teach. We Innovate. We Serve.
Good Samaritan Foundation - Dayton concentrates its giving on Dayton-area health infrastructure and community health services, with a 2025 grant of $807,885 to Miami Valley Hospital for operations standing out as the largest recent award. The pattern is heavily health-centered: grants have supported hospital operations, behavioral health, community support, and local health centers, all within Dayton and nearby communities. A second major 2025 grant of $195,607 went to Samaritan Behavioral Health for operations, showing that behavioral health is part of the foundation’s core portfolio, not a side interest. The foundation’s recent records also show support for public-sector and nonprofit partners that connect residents to care and services. City of Dayton received $140,000 for support in 2025, while Atrium Medical Center received $100,000 the same year. Smaller awards to organizations such as Five Rivers Health Centers and Wright State University Foundation reinforce a local approach that mixes direct health services, access to care, and community-based delivery. Its public-facing summary, “We Care. We Teach. We Innovate. We Serve.”, aligns with a grantmaking pattern focused on health access and community wellbeing.
Behavioral health is a clear area of support. In 2025, the foundation gave $195,607 to Samaritan Behavioral Health for operations, and it also made a smaller 2024 operating grant of $44,932 to the same organization. That repeat support suggests sustained attention to mental health and substance use services. Access to care appears in grants to clinical providers and health systems. Miami Valley Hospital received $807,885 in 2025 for operations, and Atrium Medical Center received $100,000 for support in the same year. These awards fit a model of strengthening local care delivery rather than funding isolated projects. The foundation also backs community-facing health access. Five Rivers Health Centers received $79,910 in 2023 for operations, and Compunet Clinical Laboratories LLC received $11,295 in 2025 for support, indicating interest in service capacity and diagnostic infrastructure.
Typical grants are modest relative to a few large operating awards: the p25 is $9,746, the median is $14,412, and the p75 is $62,421. The recent record shows a mix of very large hospital and health-system grants alongside smaller support for local partners, which points to a blended approach to institutional and community-level funding. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Miami Valley Hospital, Samaritan Behavioral Health, Premier Health Partners, Wright State University Foundation, and Compunet Clinical Labs, indicating recurring relationships rather than one-off awards. The foundation gives through a local, Ohio-based pattern and funds organizations rather than individuals.
