Mission
What 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.
History
Our Beginning
Established on July 26th of 2007, our foundation was formed by our COPC Board of
Directors, which consists of over 450 COPC providers that comprise over 85 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.
Goals
What We Want to Achieve
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 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.
Achievements
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.
