Potomac Health Foundation announced Timothy McCue as its new director of grant programs. As director of grant programs, Mr. McCue will oversee the Foundation’s grant programs.
Prior to joining the team at the Potomac Health Foundation, Timothy served as Senior Program Officer at the William J. and Dorothy K. O’Neill Foundation headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio from 2009 until 2015. During his tenure at the O’Neill Foundation, Timothy helped the Foundation redefine the vision and mission, launched new grantmaking strategies, built a best in class youth philanthropy program, and evaluated the Foundation’s grantmaking across eleven metropolitan communities across the United States.
Prior to the O’Neill Foundation he spent almost four years at the Cleveland Department of Public Health (CDPH) in the Health Promotion division organizing in-house programming, such as Walk a Hound, Lose a Pound, and managing contracts with outside agencies, such as the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and American Lung Association, which performed community interventions under the Steps to a Healthier Cleveland brand. Prior to CDPH, Timothy worked at the Saint Luke’s Foundation in Cleveland.
In the community, Timothy has been a member of the Cuyahoga County Next Generation Council, a graduate of Cleveland Bridge Builders and a 2013 recipient of the Cleveland Professional 20/30 Club’s Movers and Shakers Top 25 Under 35 award. He received his master’s degree in public health from Case Western Reserve University.
Potomac Health Foundation is an independent foundation whose mission is to improve the health of the community by increasing access to primary health care for the medically underserved, reducing the incidence of preventable disease, and supporting innovation around emerging health needs.
