Where the money goes
- Washington University School of Medicine research, education, MD recruitment
- Barnes-Jewish Hospital research, patient support, capital, community services
- BJC Home Care hospice and home care for patients
- Community safety-net care for uninsured and underinsured St. Louis residents
- Housing, food, and transport support for patients in treatment
- Cancer support services, breast and gynecological cancer navigation
Typical grant
Two tiers, and they barely touch. Community grants run $6,500 to $80,000 with a median near $34,000, while the affiliated institutions take nearly all the money: Washington University School of Medicine alone received $16.9M to $56.7M a year, plus $4.6M to $6M annually to Barnes-Jewish Hospital and $1.3M to $2.3M to BJC Home Care. Community giving repeats reliably year over year at the same amount (Casa de Salud $50,000 three years running, Duo Dogs $20,000, Pedal the Cause $200,000-$250,000).
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “RESEARCH, PATIENT SUPPORT, EDUCATION”
- “UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS”
- “QUALITY OF LIFE”
- “BARRIERS TO ACCESSING”
- “IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IN THE ST. LOUIS COMMUNITY”
Positioning adjacent work
- Tie work to patients served by Barnes-Jewish or Washington University clinicians, not to an abstract research field.
- Ask $25,000 to $50,000 for community-based work; that band holds most of the non-affiliate grants.
- Emphasize removing access barriers for uninsured, unhoused, or immigrant St. Louis patients.
- Frame education and staff training explicitly; nursing and clinical education recurs across BJC entities.
Worth knowing: Every grant went to Missouri, and roughly 97 percent of dollars flowed to Washington University School of Medicine, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, and BJC entities, so this is a health system's captive foundation first. The outside grants go to a stable set of St. Louis safety-net and patient-support nonprofits that repeat annually at nearly identical amounts, which reads relationship-driven rather than competitive.
