About Caresource Foundation
The CareSource Foundation prioritizes community health, maternal/child well-being, and social supports that stabilize families in Dayton and the broader Ohio–Indiana region. They fund nonprofits delivering direct services (mobile clinics, home visiting, overdose response), preventive youth and mental-health programming, and local capacity/capital projects (housing, libraries, community centers). Grants are sizable and often targeted to program replication or expansion rather than small general operating gifts, and the portfolio includes both place-based investments and a few broader/statewide initiatives.

About Caresource Foundation
A $332,940 grant to Nurse-Family Partnership for the Cultural Consciousness Pathway shows how The CareSource Foundation uses larger checks to support maternal and infant health at scale. Across the recent grant list, the foundation backs programs that connect health care with social supports, including home visiting, mobile care, behavioral health, overdose response, housing stability, and disability services. That mix appears in grants such as $255,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities Dayton for the 2022 Doors of Compassion Dinner & RMHC Keeping More Families Close Capital Campaign and $250,000 to Merchants Affordable House Corp for Healthy Beginnings at Home Replication, Indiana. The portfolio also reaches into community-based service delivery and capacity building. Grants include support for a virtual behavioral health clinic, pediatric nurse navigation, and capital projects for local nonprofits and community facilities. Recent awards also show attention to youth programming, sensory-friendly cultural access, and peer-led health promotion for adolescents. In addition to health-focused work, the foundation funds organizations that help families stay housed, connected, and able to access care close to home. Its recent awards are mostly in the $25,000 to $50,000 range, with some much larger targeted investments.
