About Michigan Health & Hospital Association D/B/A Mha
Michigan Health & Hospital Association D/b/a Mha’s recent grantmaking is dominated by pass-through support to Michigan hospitals and health systems, with large payments moving through affiliated providers rather than individual or project-only awards. The biggest recent grant in the list is $38,000,000 to William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, followed by $23,400,000 to Beaumont Hospital Royal Oak. That pattern points to a funder focused on hospital operations and system support at scale, not a narrow one-off grantmaker. Beyond those flagship payments, the foundation’s recent activity also includes substantial support for Trinity Health St Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor, Henry Ford Health System, Regents of the University of Michigan, and McLaren Flint. The recipient names show a network of Michigan health systems, teaching hospitals, and community hospitals. Its public-facing programs reinforce that picture: governance fellowship work, awards for leadership and service, and maternal health quality-improvement support all sit inside a broader mission tied to hospitals, patient safety, and community health. The foundation gives through intermediary-style grants and award programs, with a clear emphasis on Michigan’s healthcare infrastructure.
What Michigan Health & Hospital Association D/B/A Mha Funds
Maternal health appears as a defined program area. Under Michigan Maternal Health Quality Improvement Support and the MLC Verification Cost Coverage effort, the foundation helps Michigan birthing hospitals cover The Joint Commission Maternal Levels of Care verification fees and receive technical assistance through the MHA Keystone Center. Patient safety is another visible theme. The Advancing Safe Care Award recognizes organizations or teams advancing safe care practices, while the Speak Up Award highlights people who promote a culture of safety by raising concerns. The foundation also invests in leadership and governance. Its Excellence in Governance Fellowship supports board education and leadership development in Michigan, and the Healthcare Leadership Award recognizes individual leaders in Michigan healthcare. Community benefit is reflected in the MHA Ludwig Community Benefit Award, which honors hospital- or health-system-led community benefit programs and initiatives.

The active programs also include awards and fellowship mechanisms, several of which accept nominations or applications. One program, the Excellence in Governance Fellowship, includes an application process.
