Read Our StatementWhat Matters to Us
Our foundation has a simple mission -
to improve the overall physical and emotional health of the underserved
in Central Ohio.
Since inception,
we have granted more than $900,000 to
local charities in Central Ohio
, but we don't want to stop there. Last year we donated over a total
of $150,000 to local charities who further our mission.
To help continue our efforts in helping make Central Ohio
an even better place, we highly encourage you to support our foundation and help us give back to
the community in which we live.
Our Beginning
Established on July 26th of 2007, our foundation was formed by our COPC
Board of Directors, which consists of over 340 COPC providers that comprise over 65 medical practices throughout Central Ohio.
Our non-profit organization was created as a donor advised fund on the Columbus Foundation,
in order to help serve the greater Central Ohio area in which our COPC physicians and specialists operate.
What We Want to Achieve
In order to achieve our foundation's goals, we continue to encourage and financially
assist nonprofit organizations that further support our mission. Our
initial grant-making priorities address the most crucial needs
of the underserved such as food, shelter, clothing, and access to prescription drugs.
As our funding increases, we will expand our priorities to include those
organizations that are involved in the treatment, prevention, and cure of
disease states, and improvement in the overall health of the underserved
of Central Ohio.
Our Successes
Every year, our foundation has helped the underserved in our neighborhoods
by donating to various charities that address critical needs such as food, shelter,
prescription medicines, and access to quality health care.
In the past, our foundation has helped the American Diabetes
Association, the March of Dimes, Faith Mission, LifeCare Alliance, and The Driven Foundation.
In addition to raising funds for charities, we also give back by volunteering and raising awareness for causes that support our mission.
Every Labor Day we host a 4 mile run/walk to encourage physical activity and to raise funds for our community.
Our Run 4 the Health of It race is a great way to get physically active and have fun with the whole family.
TeamCOPC is a group of our associates, physicians, and friends working together to raise funds
for cancer research. Fueled by the motto, "ONE GOAL, to END CANCER", our team gets closer to making
it possible with every mile they ride.
Every year we sponsor and participate in Step Up for Stefanie's Champions
Walk/Run. All proceeds benefit local breast cancer research through the
OSU Comprehensive Cancer Center.
In recognition of National Falls Prevention Day we take part in the Ohio Department of Aging's
“10 Million Steps to Prevent Falls” campaign. As part of this initiative, we walk a mile on
the first day of Fall to raise awareness for falls prevention.
We strive to support our community and the nonprofit organizations that further our mission.
