WHA Foundation

The WHA Foundation, Inc. was formed in 1968 to support educational, research and charitable programs of the Wisconsin Hospital Association and its members.  Today, as a 501 (c) 3 organization, the Foundation focuses its grant making priorities on initiatives that have a statewide impact on health care in Wisconsin. The Foundation's three specific funding priorities include:

• Health Care Workforce Development
• Health Care Quality and Safety Initiatives
• Collaborative Community Health Initiatives, through the annual Global Vision Community Partnership Award.

You can support the WHA Foundation and learn about the programs within these three funding priorities in the WHA Foundation Annual Fundraising Campaign Brochure
