To improve the health of those we serve.
OhioHealth Corporation’s largest recent grant was $25,000,000 to Columbus State Community College Foundation to support the college’s plan to double enrollment in the health sciences. That single award points to the foundation’s strongest throughline: using philanthropy to build the health workforce and strengthen care in the communities OhioHealth serves. Across the recent grants list, the foundation also backed nursing scholarships, medical research, mobile healthcare, patient support, and community health initiatives tied to OhioHealth’s mission to improve the health of those they serve. The pattern is not limited to education. OhioHealth Corporation has also made sizable gifts for maternal and infant health work through Central Ohio Hospital Council, including CelebrateOne and Ohio Better Birth Outcomes, and for emergency response beyond Ohio, such as humanitarian relief for Ukrainians. Smaller grants extend into pharmacy access, behavioral health, hospice-related support, and disease-specific research. The mix shows a funder that uses large anchor grants alongside targeted program support, with many awards aligned to health systems, community intermediaries, and public-benefit organizations.
One clear priority is health workforce development. OhioHealth Corporation gave $25,000,000 to Columbus State Community College Foundation to help double enrollment in the health sciences, and another grant to Ohio University Foundation for program support. Nursing scholarships also appear as a recurring line of support in the foundation’s program areas. Maternal and infant health is another visible theme. The foundation awarded $155,000 to Central Ohio Hospital Council for Ohio Better Birth Outcomes and followed with additional support for CelebrateOne activities in later years. It also supports access to essential services for vulnerable households. OhioHealth Corporation gave $53,500 to Mid-ohio Food Bank for Food Insecurity Central OH and another $50,000 to Charitable Pharmacy of Central Ohio Inc for affordable and appropriate pharmacy services. Medical research and disease-specific fundraising appear as well, including $50,000 to American Heart Assn Inc for heart and vascular research and $28,560 to National Multiple Sclerosis Society for Dinner for Champions - Opportunities.

The recent list also shows a wide size spread, from small program contributions to a $25,000,000 anchor award. The pattern includes both one-time support and recurring relationships. Central Ohio Hospital Council appears in multiple years for related maternal-health work, and American Heart Assn Inc shows up across different years and purposes. The foundation gives as a corporation rather than a private family foundation, and it also makes program-related investments.
