About The Aultman Foundation
The Aultman Foundation was established by the Aultman Health Foundation in May 2007 to raise and administer funds to support and promote health education and wellness outreach to improve the health of the community. The mission is achieved through targeted grant funding to area nonprofit organizations and the acceptance of charitable gifts to the foundation and hospital. Grant dollars are budgeted annually to support the work of nonprofit organizations that lead the community to improved health, while charitable gifts to The Aultman Foundation are directed for use by charitable donors to patient-centered services that support the continuum of care of individuals, families and the community. Since its inception, The Aultman Foundation has distributed $2.2 million in grants.
