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
- Pediatric medical research grant subawards to universities and academic medical centers
- Multi-site research collaborations led from Seattle, flowing to partner institutions
- Graduate education programs and named disease-specific research awards (juvenile myositis)
- Family housing near the hospital, including Ronald McDonald House programs
- Regional Washington facilities serving children with special healthcare needs
- Healthcare workforce training and scholarships in Seattle
Typical grant
Median grant is $56,221, with the middle half between $18,000 and $167,354. The very large checks, from $500,000 to $9.5 million, are research subawards to major academic partners like University of Washington, OHSU, Colorado State, and Fred Hutchinson, which look like flow-through funding on jointly held research. The small end covers community and family-support gifts in Washington and Alaska, and giving repeats across the 2021-2023 window for the core research partners.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “PEDIATRIC MEDICAL RESEARCH GRANT SUBAWARD”
- “SUPPORT FOR GRADUATE EDUCATION PROGRAMS”
- “CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL HEALTHCARE NEEDS AND THEIR FAMILIES”
- “SUPPORT FOR HOUSING PROGRAMS”
- “SCHOLARSHIPS FOR HEALTHCARE IT CERTIFICATE PROGRAM”
Positioning adjacent work
- Treat this as subaward money, not open philanthropy. Find a Seattle Children's investigator and join their project as a site.
- If your institution already appears on the list, work the existing research relationship rather than submitting cold.
- Frame adjacent work explicitly as pediatric, with a disease focus, and name the child population served.
- For non-research asks, stay under $200,000 and serve Washington or Alaska families directly.
Worth knowing: This is a hospital moving research dollars, not a grantmaking foundation: 504 grants but almost all described identically as pediatric medical research grant subawards, and the top four recipients absorb roughly $20 million of the $161 million. Non-research giving is small and tightly local, concentrated in Washington and Alaska around housing, family support, and workforce training.
