Mission & Focus Areas

HealthPath’s stated mission is to advance health equity by empowering Ohio’s communities through strategic grantmaking and collaborative partnerships. Its focus areas include expanding access to oral healthcare; supporting health centers, free clinics, mobile programs, and other safety-net models; addressing barriers to healthcare careers for underrepresented populations; and seeding new approaches to rising health trends, infrastructure gaps, or urgent community-identified needs.

The 2024 filing describes funding for community needs involving substance abuse counseling, food security, workforce, oral health integration, and medical direct service. It also reports support for projects involving age-friendly communities, oral health, the Doctors Foundation, and health policy.

Examples of 2024 grantees illustrate the range of organizations supported. Women Helping Women says it prevents gender-based violence and empowers survivors. The Center for Closing the Health Gap says it works to eliminate racial and ethnic health disparities in Greater Cincinnati through advocacy, education, and community outreach. The Health Policy Institute of Ohio says it advances evidence-informed policies to improve health, achieve equity, and support sustainable healthcare spending in Ohio. PSA 3 Agency on Aging says it provides access to services, education, and advocacy for older adults and people with disabilities.

Grantmaking

In filing year 2024, HealthPath reported 32 grants totaling $1,089,883. Grants ranged from $8,000 to $200,000, with a median of $8,000. All reported grant dollars went to recipients in Ohio. The largest listed awards were $200,000 each to Ohio State University and Women Helping Women; $95,549 to the Center for Closing the Health Gap in Greater Cincinnati; and $75,000 each to Clark County Combined Health District and the Health Policy Institute of Ohio. The listed grants were for program support.

The 2024 filing says Community Connections provided $160,000 in small grants across the 36-county service area. It describes these as two-year grants totaling $8,000 per grantee for general operating purposes, with community review panels reviewing applications and making recommendations to the board. The filing also reports $331,172 in non-RFP grants for organizations working on projects and programs to improve health equity across Ohio.

HealthPath says most grants are awarded through requests for proposals. It may also invite organizations to apply when their work aligns with its impact areas, including in response to an emergent community need. The website lists a currently open, two-year Community Connections opportunity for organizations in Northwest and Southeast Ohio, supporting community-driven work in Age-Friendly Communities, Oral Health, and Healthy Ohioans. Its funding-opportunities page also describes an RFP with the Public Health Fund of Ohio for maternal and infant health, with applications closing October 6; the year for that deadline is not specified.
