Mission & Focus Areas

The foundation states that its mission is to care for life, research for health and educate those who serve. Its giving priorities include neurological and cardiovascular research, the Cleveland Innovation District, community and workforce development, and serving more patients around the world. Its website also describes support for medical education and patient care.

Its 2024 grants included community organizations working on health and wellness, humanitarian medical supplies, food access, health information exchange and career opportunities. For example, Healthy Lakewood Foundation describes its mission as advancing programs, policies and practices that make health and wellness part of community life. Greater Cleveland Food Bank says it provides nutritious food and essential resources to neighbors facing hunger, while MedWish MedWorks describes its work as advancing health equity and environmental sustainability by redistributing medical supplies and connecting underserved communities with resources. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not the foundation’s.

Grantmaking

In filing year 2024, the foundation reported 100 grants totaling $41,585,045. Grant amounts ranged from $5,125 to $28,802,439, with a median of $20,000.
