Mission & Focus Areas
MHA’s mission is to advance the health of individuals and communities. Its stated purposes include supporting health education, professional education and research, integrated health systems, and the development of health policy.
MHA says its members are healthcare providers throughout Michigan. Its 2025 grantees included hospitals and health organizations. For example, Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services describes its mission as providing behavioral health services with professional excellence, Christian integrity, and compassion; Greater Flint Health Coalition says it works to improve Genesee County residents’ health and the quality and cost-effectiveness of local healthcare. MHA’s 2024 filing describes two designated funds: a public policy initiative focused primarily on healthcare reform and related policy issues, and the Collaborative Hospital Assistance Program, which redistributes voluntary hospital contributions to hospitals in connection with the Medicaid Quality Assurance Assessment Program.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, MHA reported 31 grants totaling $23,399,617. Grant amounts ranged from $5,000 to $10,076,769, with a median of $25,000.
