The Robert S Morrison Foundation concentrates its giving almost exclusively on local healthcare, providing unrestricted/general support to the Ashtabula County Medical Center. Its grants indicate a strong, singular focus on sustaining community medical services in Ashtabula, OH, rather than a diversity of sectors or geographies.
Highly concentrated: very few grants (two) all to a single beneficiary, providing relatively large, general-purpose funding aimed at sustaining a core local healthcare institution.
A large share of the Robert S Morrison Foundation’s grantmaking centers on Ashtabula County medical services, with the biggest recent award going to Ashtabula County Medical Center Foundation for general purpose support. That hospital-centered pattern sits alongside broader community-betterment grants in Ashtabula and nearby parts of northeast Ohio. The foundation’s recent awards also show meaningful support for education, youth programming, animal welfare, recreation, and local infrastructure. Its recent giving includes $125,000 to Kent State University in Ashtabula and $86,000 to Ashtabula County Airport Authority in Jefferson. Other awards reached local organizations such as Ashtabula County Animal Protective Leauge, Ashtabula County Family YMCA, After School Discovery, and Ashtabula County Technical & Career Campus. The foundation also funded organizations tied to the area’s civic and cultural life, including Ashtabula Arts Center, United Way of Ashtabula County, and Ashtabula County District Library Foundation. Across these grants, the foundation appears to favor flexible support rather than tightly restricted project funding, with recurring attention to institutions that anchor daily life in the Ashtabula area.
Healthcare is the clearest thread in the foundation’s giving. In 2023 and 2024, it awarded general purpose support to Ashtabula County Medical Center Foundation, including a $155,000 grant in 2024 and a $150,000 grant in 2023. Education and youth development also appear often. The foundation gave $125,000 to Kent State University in Ashtabula and $42,500 in 2023 and $40,000 in 2024 to After School Discovery. Animal welfare is another recurring area. It awarded $57,000 in 2024 and $39,660 in 2023 to Ashtabula County Animal Protective Leauge, both as general purpose support. Community-serving institutions beyond schools and health systems also receive funding, including $50,000 to Ashtabula County Family YMCA and $25,000 to Ashtabula County District Library Foundation.
The foundation’s typical grant size is modest to mid-sized: the 25th percentile is $3,750, the median is $7,000, and the 75th percentile is $20,000. At the same time, recent awards show occasional larger commitments above $100,000. The grant record suggests repeated support for the same organizations across multiple years, including Ashtabula County Medical Center Foundation, Kent State University, After School Discovery, Ashtabula County Animal Protective Leauge, Beatitude House, and Civic Development Corporation. The foundation is a private foundation and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Its application materials include separate paths for awards under and over $5,000, and it accepts unsolicited requests.
