About Illinois Primary Health Care Association
Illinois Primary Health Care Association’s recent grantmaking is anchored by large awards to Illinois community health centers for chronic disease outcomes, insurance enrollment support, and COVID-19 education and vaccination. In 2023, VNA Health Care in Aurora received $3,029,957 for chronic disease outcomes among its patients, while Lake County Health Dept in Waukegan received $1,828,099 for the same purpose. The foundation also backed Greater Family Health in Elgin with $999,821 and Community Health Partnership of IL in Chicago with $804,700. These grants show a pattern of funding health centers and related public health providers that serve patients with chronic conditions, uninsured or underinsured individuals, and community members who need preventive care and navigation support. The organization’s active capital programs add another layer to that work by supporting clinic construction, renovation, acquisition, and equipment purchases for Illinois community health centers. Its grantmaking is local in scope and heavily concentrated in Illinois, with grantees spread across urban, suburban, and downstate communities.
What Illinois Primary Health Care Association Funds
Primary care and chronic disease management appear in many of the foundation’s awards. Christopher Rural Health in Christopher received $799,863 in 2024 to improve chronic disease outcomes among CHC patients, improve health insurance marketplace enrollments, and improve COVID education and vaccination rates. The same purpose appears in awards to Community Health Partnership of IL in Chicago at $394,030 and TCA Health in Chicago at $249,286. Behavioral health and broader community health center support also show up through grants to organizations such as Aunt Martha's HealthWellness in Olympia Fields, which received $560,386 for the same three-part set of goals. The foundation’s capital programs extend this work by funding construction, renovation, acquisition of facilities, and medical equipment for Illinois community health centers, with grants available up to $3,000,000.
How Illinois Primary Health Care Association Gives
Typical grant sizes center in the six-figure range, with a p25 of $58,575, a median of $105,518, and a p75 of $247,445. The recent grants list shows both repeat recipients and one-year awards: several organizations appear in both 2023 and 2024, often with different grant amounts and expanded program language. The foundation is a regular funder, not an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments. Active capital opportunities are unsolicited and state-specific, with Illinois community health centers eligible for construction, renovation, acquisition, and equipment support.
