Funding History
Over $17 million in grants and scholarships!
This accomplishment is shared with thousands of individual donors and businesses, public and private funders, as well as our volunteers, our grantees, and community partners and municipal leaders who have supported our efforts since 2001. Together, we have had a significant impact on the health and well-being of our residents in the Greater Coatesville area.
The Brandywine Health Foundation (BHF) has been tackling our nation’s most pressing health problems with real solutions for the Coatesville community since 2001. BHF funds valuable non-profits, launches new programs where there are service gaps, and builds partnerships and new leaders for the future. All grants and programming funded by the foundation must fit with one or more of its strategic priorities areas; Health Equity, Healthy Youth and Healthy Community.
The foundation’s grantmaking is supported by the endowment fund we received from the sale of Brandywine Hospital in 2001 but it’s the significant additional financial support the foundation has received since our inception has allowed us to go above and beyond grantmaking.
Our generous community, enabled us to build the Brandywine Center, distribute over $300,000 in scholarships, and launch the Coatesville Youth Initiative, Youth Mental Health First Aid Program, our Coatesville Youth Philanthropy Program and the Greening Coatesville Parks and Playgrounds Initiative.
The Coatesville community has accomplished so much together, and there is so much more to do – with YOUR support!
