The Netcare Foundation is a private, non-profit organization. The Foundation raises funds and offers support to the programs of Netcare Corporation. There are currently nine members of the Netcare Foundation Board. Community professionals from businesses such as Nationwide, Battelle, Fibertech and King Business Interiors 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 of Reach Out vans, Youth Services furninshings and intervention toys and tools, capital improvements 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, Bill Conley, former assistant Ohio State University football coach and Earle Bruce, past football coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes, have joined the cause and helped facilitate the events.
