Ideal Applicant
Mid-to-large hospital foundations or health charities in Ohio, Michigan, or Kentucky seeking general operating support and capable of absorbing six-figure grants.
Good Fit
- • Established hospital or health-system foundation with a track record of operating support requests.
- • Presence or operations in Ohio, Michigan, or Kentucky, especially in the Ohio market where a large share of funds landed.
- • Capacity to manage and report on large unrestricted/general operating grants.
- • Existing relationships or introductions to current grantees or the bank trustee.
Geography
Giving is regional across three states (Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky) rather than national; about 42% of 2024 dollars went to a single state, indicating a Midwest regional focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eight distinct, mostly independent recipients (many hospital foundations) and a high new-recipient rate in 2024, so the observed recipient set is broad for this funder's scale despite dollar concentration among top recipients.
New Applicants
Although many new organizations appear in the portfolio, the foundation explicitly marks grants as only to preselected organizations and there is no public website or contact route, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter via a public application.
