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

Operating support to its own medical foundation, clinics, and hospitals
Grants to affiliated hospital foundations across CA, AZ, NV
Medical and health workforce education at universities and community colleges
Community health grants near its hospital service areas
Homelessness, housing, and reentry programs framed as health
Behavioral health, aging, and safety-net clinic access

Typical grant

Median grant is $45,750 and the middle half runs $20,000 to $100,000, which is where every unaffiliated nonprofit sits. The eight and nine figure checks are internal: $180M to Dignity Health Medical Foundation, $34.9M to Dignity Community Care, $21.9M to Pacific Central Coast Health Centers, plus the affiliated hospital foundations. With 978 grants to 576 recipients over four years, repeat funding is normal, so a first grant at $50,000 to $100,000 is a foothold rather than a one-off.

Their words

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

“COMMUNITY HEALTH”
“FOUNDATION SUPPORT”
“EDUCATION SUPPORT”
“CLINIC SUPPORT”
“HOSPITAL SUPPORT”

Positioning adjacent work

Anchor to a named hospital market: Sacramento, Redding, Merced, Santa Maria, Long Beach, San Bernardino, Phoenix, Henderson.
Ask $50,000 to $150,000 for external work; anything larger goes to affiliates or universities.
Frame homelessness, reentry, or food work as community health outcomes, following Safe Parking LA and Bridges Reentry.
For training projects, mirror the Allan Hancock, Merced College, Los Rios pattern: local health workforce pipelines.

Worth knowing: Well over 90 percent of the dollars stay inside the system or go to affiliated hospital foundations, so the genuinely competitive pool is the community health grants clustered between $50,000 and $250,000. Geography tracks the hospital footprint almost exactly, with 651 grants in California, 150 in Arizona, and 69 in Nevada; the $10M to Morehouse School of Medicine is an outlier tied to physician workforce, not a signal that out-of-footprint applicants get read.
