Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

  • Primary and specialty care access through affiliated Boston physician organization
  • Research subcontracts to academic medical centers on BIDMC-led studies
  • Medical education and research support at Harvard Medical School
  • Boston-area community organizations addressing identified community health needs
  • Housing, workforce, digital access and immigrant services in Roxbury, Chelsea, Brighton

Typical grant

Median award is about $100,800, with the middle half between $33,333 and $258,581. The very large checks are internal or near-internal: $40M to Medical Care of Boston Management Corp, $4.8M to Harvard Medical School, and $2M to $3.3M research subcontracts to Brigham, Mass General, Dana Farber and Broad. Community health awards cluster tightly at $138,889, $216,667, $230,000 and $283,333, figures that look like annual installments of multi-year commitments, and 479 grants going to 280 recipients over three years means most relationships repeat.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

  • "RESEARCH SUBCONTRACT"
  • "CARE ACCESS AND/OR TO ADDRESS OTHER IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS"
  • "ACCESS TO PRIMARY AND/OR SPECIALTY CARE"
  • "MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH"

Positioning adjacent work

  • Treat the research money as subcontracts: get named as a site by a BIDMC principal investigator, not by writing in.
  • Site-level subcontracts to universities run $130,000 to $800,000; scale a single-site budget to that band.
  • For community work, tie the proposal to a specifically identified community health need in Boston neighborhoods.
  • Community organizations should ask in the $138,000 to $283,000 range and frame it as a three-year commitment.

Worth knowing: This is a hospital's giving record, not a discretionary foundation: one affiliated entity took $40M of the $170M total, and most of the rest is pass-through of sponsored research to collaborating institutions. Community giving is concentrated in Boston, Roxbury, Chelsea and Brighton, with 206 of 479 grants staying in Massachusetts, and the recipient list skews toward organizations already embedded in the hospital's service area.
