Mission & Focus Areas
Bethesda Hospital Inc’s stated mission is to improve the health status of the people it serves by providing a full range of health-related services, including prevention, wellness, and education. Bethesda Foundation describes its aims as cultivating philanthropic support for care, medical education and research, patient services, facilities, and community outreach related to Bethesda Hospital and its related entities.
The 2025 grants included support for a children’s hospital, maternal and child health services, a food bank, pediatric cancer research, community arts and cultural organizations, and home modifications. The grantees’ own descriptions reflect varied missions: Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center says it aims to improve child health through integrated research, education, and innovation; Healthy Moms & Babes says it serves at-risk women of childbearing age and their children; and CancerFree KIDS says it raises funds for early-stage pediatric cancer research. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not Bethesda Hospital Inc’s.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, Bethesda Hospital Inc reported 10 grants totaling $401,089. Grant amounts ranged from $6,497 to $237,500, with a median of $15,438.

Other grants included $47,842 to Healthy Moms & Babes for general support; $28,500 to the American Heart Association for sponsorship; $19,000 to Cincinnati Arts Association for general support; and $16,625 to Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens for sponsorship. Additional recipients included CancerFree KIDS, Freestore Foodbank, Cincinnati Museum Center, Friar’s Club, and People Working Cooperatively.
