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

Clean energy and climate campaigns, US and global
Public health: tobacco, opioids, road safety, healthy eating, cardiovascular
K-12 outcomes, charter networks, career and technical education
Johns Hopkins research, scholarship and facilities
City governance: data alliances, mayors, public infrastructure
Arts and museum capital projects, US and London

Typical grant

The median grant is $1,000,000 and the middle half runs $375,950 to $2,683,500. The eight-and nine-figure checks go to institutions Bloomberg is personally tied to (Johns Hopkins at $186.8M, Museum of Science Boston at $78.8M) or to intermediaries running whole portfolios (Charter School Growth Fund, Vital Strategies, Resolve to Save Lives). Repeat giving is the norm: Vital Strategies, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and Johns Hopkins each appear multiple times in a single year across different program lines.

Their words

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

“TO SUPPORT CLEAN ENERGY”
“TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR K-12 STUDENTS IN THE U.S.”
“TO SUPPORT CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION”
“TO REDUCE TOBACCO USE”
“TO SUPPORT DATA FOR HEALTH”

Positioning adjacent work

Frame health work as measurable population-level policy change, not clinical research. Data and surveillance language lands hardest.
Anchor to cities. City Data Alliance, mayors, and municipal implementation recur across health, climate and education portfolios.
Ask $1M to $3M for a first project. Below $375,000 is unusual for them.
Partner with or route through an existing grantee like Vital Strategies, Resolve to Save Lives, or Results for America.

Worth knowing: Giving is heavily relationship-driven and concentrated: New York and Washington DC hold 346 of 438 recipients, and Johns Hopkins alone took roughly $209M across five 2024 grants. A small set of intermediaries (Vital Strategies, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, WHO, Resolve to Save Lives) executes most of the global health money, so unaffiliated researchers usually enter as subawardees rather than direct grantees.
