What Aultman Health Foundation does

The Aultman Foundation (legal entity: "The Aultman Foundation"), founded in 2007, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation and the philanthropic arm of the broader Aultman Health Foundation integrated health system in Canton, Ohio. The foundation operates through three branches: (1) giving, via the "Choose Your Good" online donation platform that lets donors designate gifts to a growing catalog of charitable funds (Patient Care Fund, Aultman Cancer Center Fund, Aultman Hospice and Compassionate Care Center Fund, Aultman Birth Center Fund, Breast Care Center Fund, Brick Paver Tribute Program, multiple scholarship and endowment funds), (2) strategic grant-giving, distributing funds to nonprofit partners in five Ohio counties (Carroll, Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas, Wayne) focused on Access to Care, Support for the Aging Population, and Promotion of Healthy Behaviors, with over $2.3 million cumulatively granted since 2007, and (3) the Women's Board of Aultman Hospital, founded in 1969, which runs community-relations and fundraising events (Angel Auction, Fashion Show, Aullys Open) and has raised over $30 million cumulatively, with a current $1.5 million pledge to the Aultman Massillon Modernization Project.

The foundation is governed by a Board of Directors (Chair: Shannon English-Hexamer; Vice Chair: Dan Flowers; Secretary & Treasurer: Tia Cernava) and supported by staff including a Grants Officer (Benjamin Alderfer); Carman D'Agostino serves as Women's Board President. The annual Vicki Haines Legacy Award (established 2021) recognizes grantee excellence and is the foundation's primary public-recognition program. The foundation itself does not sell any commercial product, license any technology, or operate a software platform; its entire operating model is donor-driven philanthropy and grant distribution. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Rob Mullen serves as President & CEO of the parent Aultman Health Foundation system, which this entity supports.

• Mount Carmel Health Foundation: Columbus-area health-system foundation. Directly comparable in supporting a multi-hospital system through donor-designated funds, community health grants, scholarship endowments, and volunteer board fundraising.
• Sisters of Charity Foundation of Canton: Canton-area grantmaking foundation addressing community health, education, and social services in Stark and surrounding counties. Directly comparable as a local health-and-human-services grantmaker with overlapping beneficiary populations and grant program structure.
• OhioHealth Foundation: Central Ohio health-system foundation funding capital projects, patient-care funds, and community health programs. Directly comparable in operating model: multiple designated charitable funds, scholarship funds, capital campaign support, and community grants to nonprofit partners.
• ProMedica Foundation: Northwest Ohio and regional health system foundation. Directly comparable through hospital-affiliated philanthropy, designated patient-care funds, scholarship programs, and a Women's Volunteer/auxiliary fundraising tradition similar to Aultman's Women's Board.

Directly comparable because both are regional 501(c)(3) foundations distributing grants to nonprofits and prioritizing local community health and welfare outcomes in overlapping Ohio geographies.

Broad incumbents

• The Cleveland Foundation: One of the largest community foundations in the U.S., serving Greater Cleveland with grants across health, education, and social services. Comparable in grantmaking mission and donor-advised structures but operates at a much larger scale with broader programmatic scope than Aultman's regional health focus.
• University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center Foundation: Large Ohio academic health system's fundraising and grantmaking arm. Comparable as a health-system foundation but operates at significantly greater scale across broader geographies with more diversified funding sources and corporate partnerships than Aultman Foundation.

Regional players

• Holmes County Hospital Foundation: Small rural Ohio hospital-affiliated foundation serving Holmes County - one of the counties in Aultman's service region. Comparable as a health-focused community foundation raising funds for patient care and capital projects, but at a meaningfully smaller scale and narrower geographic footprint than Aultman.
