Information for Grant Applicants

The Physicians’ Charitable Foundation awards grants to organizations that serve the surrounding seven county area, which includes Montgomery, Miami, Greene, Darke, Clark, Preble and Warren counties. Grants are awarded for a variety of public charitable purposes which broadly encompass health care needs and at risk populations.

Grantmaking policy and specific grant decisions are made by the Advisory Board following review by the Distribution Committee. The size and number of grant awards are directly related to the amount of money available each year. Generally, grants are made to help launch new projects and to established organizations for special purposes, which represent a unique and unduplicated opportunity and meet a significant community health need.
