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

Unrestricted semi-annual endowment distributions to UT Southwestern
Cancer research and Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center
Peter O'Donnell, Jr. Brain Institute, Alzheimer's, depression research
Hospital bills for indigent elderly, student-run free clinics
Medical trainee programs: Amgen Scholars, Cary Council DocStars
Dallas-area public health: Parkland, Collin County Health Department

Typical grant

Median gift is $50,000 and the middle half runs $17,898 to $160,000, but the dollars are dominated by a handful of enormous transfers to UT Southwestern, including two 2024 semi-annual 4.5% distributions of roughly $17.3M and $17.5M and a $34M omnibus grant in 2023. Named-investigator and named-program gifts cluster between $10,000 and $500,000. Repetition is the norm: Amgen Scholars, the HOPE Program, POTS research, obesity and diabetes, breast cancer, the O'Donnell Brain Institute, the Saner indigent elderly endowment, and Collin County Health Care Foundation all appear in consecutive years at similar amounts.

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

Positioning adjacent work

If you are not at UT Southwestern, work through a UTSW collaborator; 179 of 187 grants stayed in Texas.
Attach adjacent work to a named home: Simmons Cancer Center, O'Donnell Brain Institute, or Center for Depression Research.
Size a first named-investigator request at $50,000 to $160,000, matching their repeat-gift band.
Emphasize tumor metabolism, neurodegeneration, or care for indigent and elderly Dallas patients, all funded repeatedly.

Worth knowing: This is effectively UT Southwestern's affiliated fundraising foundation: UTSW receives the overwhelming majority of both grants and dollars, and most awards read as donor-designated endowment distributions rather than competitive selections. The few outside checks are small and either local Dallas health organizations, community event sponsorships, or legacy scholarship funds in Ohio, North Carolina, and Oklahoma.
