Funding pattern
What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.
Where the money goes
- Indigent care and patient programs at Nationwide Children's Hospital itself
- Research Institute at NCH initiatives and start-up grants
- Affiliated physician groups: Pediatric Academic Association, surgery, radiology, anesthesia
- Healthy Neighborhoods Healthy Families housing and Linden/Southside development
- Central Ohio youth programs: after school, literacy, soccer, workforce pathways
- Child advocacy and assessment programs for abused children
Typical grant
Median grant is $25,750 and the middle half falls between $10,000 and $155,754, but that describes only the community giving. The overwhelming majority of the $639 million flows internally: $105M to the hospital for indigent care, $101M across two grants to the Research Institute at NCH, $31.8M to Pediatric Academic Association. Outside grants cluster at $7,500 to $50,000, often event sponsorships, and the neighborhood partners like Southside Thrive, We Are Linden, and Community Development for All People appear as recurring operating support.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “RESEARCH INITIATIVES”
- “TO AID IN PROVIDING INDIGENT CARE”
- “HNHF”
- “OPERATION SUPPORT”
- “SPONSORSHIP”
Positioning adjacent work
- Read this as a hospital moving its own money; external asks work best as neighborhood or youth partnerships, not research grants.
- Anchor to the Linden and Southside footprint by name; nearly every community grant sits in those two areas.
- Ask $10,000 to $50,000 for a program with a named deliverable, like after school literacy or workforce training.
- Frame health outcomes through housing, food access, or early learning, which is how HNHF grants are described.
Worth knowing: Over 95 percent of dollars go to NCH itself, its Research Institute, and affiliated physician practices, so outside applicants are competing for a small community-benefit remainder concentrated in Franklin County plus a Toledo cluster tied to the ProMedica relationship. Many community checks read as event sponsorships and vendor payments, which signals relationship-driven, locally embedded giving rather than open competitive review.

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
