About Mount Carmel Health System Foundation
Mount Carmel Health System Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by repeated support for Mount Carmel Health System itself, with three large grants in the $3.7 million to $3.9 million range across 2023, 2024, and 2025 for external grants received and outreach programs. That pattern shows a foundation channeling major resources into the health system’s community-facing work rather than a scattered set of unrelated causes. The same rhythm appears in its other major awards: Mount Carmel College of Nursing received scholarship funding in each of the three latest years, underscoring a sustained commitment to nursing education and student support. Smaller but still recurring grants extend that model into community benefit, work-study, and sponsorships tied to local institutions in Columbus. The foundation also supports designated internal funds for cancer services, community health and well-being, colleague care, cardiac care services, and the Street Medicine Program, which points to a grantmaker closely aligned with Mount Carmel’s own healthcare mission and the needs of Central Ohio patients, students, and staff. Across the record, the foundation’s identity is tied to direct support for healthcare delivery, training, and community benefit within its operating network.
What Mount Carmel Health System Foundation Funds
Nursing education is a core theme. Mount Carmel Health System Foundation gave $736,593 in 2025, $616,516 in 2024, and $538,978 in 2023 to Mount Carmel College of Nursing for scholarship funding, showing a multi-year pattern of direct student support. Community health also appears in programmatic grants: Heart of Ohio Family Health Center received $375,000 in 2024 and $176,000 in 2023 for community benefit. Workforce development shows up through Cristo Rey Columbus High School, which received $155,000 in 2024 and $62,333 in 2025 for a work study program. The foundation also funds sponsorships tied to local civic and cultural activity, including $10,000 to National African American Male Wellness in 2025 and $7,500 to Columbus Symphony Orchestra in 2025.
How Mount Carmel Health System Foundation Gives
The typical grant size is broad, with a p25 of $7,125, a median of $108,666, and a p75 of $597,132. The recent record shows both very large institutional awards and much smaller sponsorship or board-development grants, indicating a mixed pattern of major program support and lower-dollar community engagements. Recurring grants are a clear feature: the same recipients appear across multiple years, especially Mount Carmel Health System and Mount Carmel College of Nursing. The foundation operates locally and does not fund individuals. Its active programs are structured around designated internal funds and scholarship, health, and colleague-support channels rather than an open unsolicited application model.
