The Columbus Foundation awarded LifeCare Alliance $500,000 in operating support after its reported funding shortfall

The Columbus Foundation said it awarded LifeCare Alliance a $500,000 grant in November 2025 for critical operating support, with an emphasis on Meals-on-Wheels. The award followed reports that LifeCare Alliance faced a $2 million shortfall and rising demand for services.
