Mission & Focus Areas

CareSource Ohio’s mission is to make a lasting difference in members’ lives by improving their health and well-being. Its vision is to transform lives through innovative health and life services. The organization says it focuses on social determinants of health, health equity, prevention and access to care.

The Foundation’s priorities include health education and healthy habits, maternal, infant and child health, and improving physical and mental health in communities with complex needs. Examples include preventive care access, community-based care, mental and behavioral health services, chronic disease self-management, support for older adults aging at home, prenatal and postpartum care, and programs that help children meet developmental milestones.

The Foundation describes its grantees as organizations working to improve health and well-being. For example, Hocking.Athens.Perry Community Action says its mission is to mobilize resources through advocacy and quality services that promote self-sufficiency and quality of life. Birthing Beautiful Communities says it works to address systemic and community conditions leading to poor birth outcomes. Star House says it partners with teens and young adults as they exit homelessness and thrive in a community of hope.

Grantmaking

CareSource Ohio reported 21 grants totaling $2,508,585 in 2023, an average of about $119,456 per grant. In 2022 it reported 62 grants totaling $37,631,250. Its 2024 filing reported no grants.

The Foundation says it has awarded more than $39 million to nonprofits since 2006. As of July 31, 2026, its process is invitation-only: staff contact organizations to discuss potential alignment, followed by an introductory conversation. Afterward, an organization may be invited to apply, asked for more information or follow-up conversations, or told the Foundation will not proceed. Invited organizations receive portal access and application instructions; applications are reviewed by Foundation staff. The Foundation prioritizes results-driven, research- and evidence-based approaches, knowledge of local services and priority populations, population-level measures of need and impact, and sustainable systems change. It supports organizations tax-exempt under IRS Section 501(c)(3); stated exclusions include individuals, scholarship organizations, organizations less than three years old, for-profit organizations, fraternal organizations, sporting clubs, organizations outside the United States, and political parties, campaigns or candidates. The Foundation generally limits funded organizations to one grant award per calendar year and offers multi-year grants, with annual payments contingent on approval of interim narrative and financial reports.
