The Netcare Foundation is a private, non-profit organization. The Foundation raises funds and offers support to the programs of Netcare’s Corporation, which are not funded by the ADAMH tax levy. There are thirteen current members of the Netcare Foundation Board. Community professionals from businesses such as Nationwide, Battelle, Janssen Pharmaceutica, OhioHealth and National City Bank are represented on the Board. Foundation Board members serve a minimum three-year term and all have an interest in mental health, health or fundraising.
The Netcare Foundation has made significant contributions to the Netcare Corporation such as the purchase and maintenance of the Reach Out vans, program needs which will improve quality of services provided, educational opportunities about services available and issues affecting those with mental illness, capital improvement to facilities and continuing education opportunities such as the Grayce M. Sills, RN, PhD scholarship grant awarded to Netcare employees.
The Netcare Foundation is funded through corporate and individual donations. Most of the funding, however, comes from the Netcare Foundation Golf Tournament, which is held annually. Attracting over twenty teams of golfers, celebrities such as George Lehner from 610 WTVN and Earle Bruce, past coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes, have joined the cause and helped facilitate the events.
