To advance healing and reduce suffering. We are committed to advancing medicine and improving the health of all people—regardless of race, ethnicity, geography or ability to pay—by fostering groundbreaking medical research and education, delivering outstanding primary and specialty care services and building a diverse workforce.
Uc Healthcare System’s recent grantmaking is dominated by two very large general grants to the University of Cincinnati, including $51,743,665 in 2024 and $46,189,846 in 2023. That pattern places the foundation close to the center of Cincinnati’s health, research, and education ecosystem, while also showing support for community organizations that address health access, respite care, and local wellness needs. The foundation’s stated aim is to advance healing and reduce suffering by advancing medicine and improving health for all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, geography, or ability to pay. Its focus areas include patient care, clinical research, medical education, cancer care and research, neuroscience, integrative health and wellness, and community health and support programs. Across the grants list, support ranges from major institutional funding to smaller awards for specific local and national health-related organizations. Recipients include the Center for Closing the Health Gap in Greater Cincinnati, Citizens for the Health Safety Net, and Center for Respite Care, indicating attention to both care delivery and health equity in the region.
In patient care and community health, Uc Healthcare System gave $400,000 to the Center for Closing the Health Gap in Greater Cincinnati for general support and $250,000 to Citizens for the Health Safety Net for general support. It also backed direct-service organizations such as Center for Respite Care with $175,000 in 2024. On the education and workforce side, the foundation gave $395,357 to the University of Cincinnati Foundation for general support, alongside a separate $50,000 gift to the same recipient in 2023. Health-focused community organizations also appear in the recent grants list: Village Life Outreach Project received $100,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2024, while the YWCA of Greater Cincinnati received $25,000. The mix points to support for local access, training, and community-based health services.
Typical grant size sits at a $12,500 p25, $100,000 median, and $290,000 p75. The distribution is polarized by two very large institutional awards to the University of Cincinnati, but the broader list includes much smaller general-support grants to local health and community groups. Recurrence is visible: the University of Cincinnati Foundation appears in both 2023 and 2024, as do Uptown Consortium Inc, Center for Respite Care, and Village Life Outreach Project. Uc Healthcare System is classified as a regular funder and also makes program-related investments. The listed grants are all domestic, and the foundation’s giving is local in scope.

Grant recipients are overwhelmingly in Ohio, with 86% of grants going to recipients in the headquarters state. Cincinnati is the main city in the recent list, including University of Cincinnati, Center for Closing the Health Gap in Greater Cincinnati, Center for Respite Care, and Citizens for the Health Safety Net. A smaller share reaches elsewhere in Ohio, such as Columbus-based Ohio Physicians Health Program. Outside Ohio, the foundation made one grant to Des Moines, Iowa, and two to New York recipients in New York City.
The recent grants point to hospitals, universities, and health-related community organizations. The largest awards went to the University of Cincinnati, while other recipients include Center for Closing the Health Gap in Greater Cincinnati, Center for Respite Care, Citizens for the Health Safety Net, and the University of Cincinnati Foundation.
The foundation’s typical grant size is $12,500 at the 25th percentile, $100,000 at the median, and $290,000 at the 75th percentile. Its recent list includes both very large institutional grants and smaller awards in the five- and six-figure range.
Yes. Several organizations appear in more than one year of the recent grants list, including the University of Cincinnati Foundation, Uptown Consortium Inc, Center for Respite Care, and Village Life Outreach Project. That pattern suggests recurring support rather than one-time giving only.
The giving is highly concentrated in Ohio. The foundation reports 86% of grants to recipients in its headquarters state, and the top state by grant count is also Ohio. Cincinnati recipients make up much of the recent list, with a few grants elsewhere in Ohio and a small number outside the state.
The stated focus areas are patient care, clinical research, medical education, cancer care and research, neuroscience, integrative health and wellness, and community health and support programs. The recent grants align with those priorities through support for medical institutions, health access groups, and community-based service organizations.
