Over 40 Years of Community Impact

We grant funds to high-impact programs that support our community’s health and wellness

We’re reimagining the future of health care in our community. With an expanded mission to invest in programs throughout Ashland, Talent, and Phoenix, we are extending our reach and impact. At the same time, Ashland Community Health Foundation is returning to its roots — supporting local hospital and community partners to improve access to quality health care for all of our neighbors.

Giving Opportunities

Evans Nursing Scholarship

In 2002, the William G. and Ruth T. Evans Endowed Nursing Scholarship was established through the generosity of Mrs. Ruth Evans. 

The Evans Nursing Scholarship provides financial assistance to qualified students who are pursuing registered nursing degrees from Oregon Health & Science University Ashland Campus (at Southern Oregon University) or Rogue Community College, and intend to work as nurses in the Rogue Valley.

As of 2022, ACHF has awarded over $1 million in scholarships to support 308 local students.

Building Partnerships

With the expansion of the ACHF mission in 2022, we were able to broaden our reach to include the neighboring cities of Talent and Phoenix.

Among our seven grant recipient organizations in 2022, six offer services to the Talent and/or Phoenix communities.

“Health care now and in the future is about keeping people healthy through community-based programs.” Cindy Bernard, Board President, ACH Foundation
