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
- General operating support for Hawaii community health centers and safety-net clinics
- Palliative and serious illness care expansion in Alameda and San Francisco counties
- College advising, basic needs centers, and career access at CSU and UH campuses
- Local food systems: farms, food hubs, food policy, hunger advocacy
- Maternal and child health equity: doulas, community health workers, Black birth outcomes
- Community organizing, racial justice, and state policy advocacy in CA and HI
Typical grant
The median grant is $125,000 and the middle half runs $50,000 to $262,500, so a $150,000 to $300,000 ask sits squarely in normal range. Seven-figure checks go to two things: multiyear institutional change at a single campus (San Francisco State at $2.5M, Cal State East Bay at $2.48M) and long-trusted Hawaii anchors receiving unrestricted money (Kalihi Palama Health Center and Hawaii Land Trust at $1.5M each). With 759 grants going to 460 recipients over three years, repeat funding is the norm and many organizations get two grants in the same year for different projects.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “To provide general operating support”
- “basic needs”
- “palliative care”
- “Enhanced Care Management”
- “advising”
Positioning adjacent work
- Frame work as service delivery or systems change, not research. Their UCSF and UH grants fund clinics, pilots, and student centers.
- Connect to serious illness and palliative care if health-adjacent, and name Alameda or San Francisco County populations explicitly.
- Ask $200,000 to $500,000 for a defined pilot; reserve seven-figure asks for campus-wide advising or basic needs transformation.
- Name the state payment mechanism you will use, such as Medi-Cal doula benefit, Community Supports, or Enhanced Care Management.
Worth knowing: Nearly all the money stays in California (444 grants) and Hawaii (219), with the DC and New York grants going to national policy shops working those two places, like HawaiiKidsCAN. Giving is fast, large, and relationship-heavy, with unrestricted operating support flowing to organizations they already know, so a cold institution with no Bay Area or Hawaii footprint is a poor fit.
