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
- Mayo Clinic's own charitable and clinical programs (nearly all dollars)
- Research subawards to universities and academic medical centers
- Safety-net clinics and community services in Mayo Clinic Health System towns
- Community nonprofits near the Jacksonville and Phoenix campuses
- Youth, food access, and housing groups in Rochester and Mankato
Typical grant
Median grant is $18,655 and the middle half runs $10,000 to $56,713, so the ordinary check is a small community grant. The very large checks are a different animal entirely: $1.63 billion to Mayo Clinic itself in 2024, then research awards of $100,000 to $3 million to institutions like Indiana University, Washington University, Columbia, Emory, Arizona State, and UC Irvine. With 834 grants to 457 recipients over three years, most relationships repeat at least once, and the community grantees in Eau Claire, Menomonie, Mankato, and Jacksonville look like annual commitments.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “SUPPORT RESEARCH PROGRAM”
- “SUPPORT CHARITABLE PROGRAMS”
- “SUPPORT CHARITABLE PURPOSE”
- “SUPPORT EXEMPT PURPOSE”
Positioning adjacent work
- Research dollars flow as subawards on Mayo-led studies; secure a Mayo co-investigator before anything else.
- Benchmark a research ask at $100,000 to $1 million, the band Emory, ASU, and UC Irvine occupy.
- If your work is community-facing, tie it to Wisconsin or southeast Minnesota sites near Mayo Clinic Health System hospitals.
- Community-scale asks belong at $45,000 to $125,000, matching Boys & Girls Club, Circle the City, and Arbor Place.
Worth knowing: This is a group return covering Mayo entities, not a foundation with an open door: Mayo Clinic itself absorbs the overwhelming majority of dollars, and the university money reads as research subcontracts on Mayo collaborations rather than discretionary grantmaking. Everything else clusters tightly around Mayo's physical footprint in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Florida, and Arizona, and those local grants look relationship-driven and renewed year to year.

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
