Grants Administration Role

To date, the Foundation has played a role as grants administrator for government funds. Government agencies that seek to fund projects strategically performed by hospitals prefer to contract with the Foundation, which in turn oversees the grant selection process and acts as fiscal agent of the funds.

Since 2001, the Foundation has administered more than $7 million of funds through contracts with government entities. These include grants management of tobacco settlement funds through the Ohio Department of Health, Health Resource and Services Administration funds for Critical Access Hospitals, Department of Development funds for health care workforce development and Appalachian Regional Commission funds.
