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
- National public health policy and gun violence prevention research intermediaries
- Oakland, Richmond, and East Contra Costa community organizing and capacity-building
- Food is Medicine: produce prescriptions, SNAP, WIC, school meals
- Health workforce pipelines and career exposure for BIPOC students
- Donor-advised pass-throughs to universities, schools, arts, and local clubs
- Racial equity general operating grants in Atlanta, Seattle, Portland
Typical grant
Median grant is $25,000 with the middle half between $11,000 and $67,500, so most of the 3,218 grants are modest and often general support. The seven-figure checks go to national health intermediaries and campaigns: $5.5M to Health Resources in Action for a gun violence research center, $2.3M for CityHealth policy work, $2.26M for the APHA/Kaiser Permanente Community Health Leadership Program, $2M for Common Health Coalition 2.0. Repeat giving is common, and many recipients show several grants bundled in one year across different funds.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “GENERAL SUPPORT”
- “ADVANCING RACIAL EQUITY”
- “FOOD IS MEDICINE”
- “CAPACITY-BUILDING TO STRENGTHEN RESIDENT LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZING IN EAST CONTRA COSTA COUNTY”
- “CALIFORNIA HEALING JUSTICE FUND RAPID RESPONSE SUPPORT”
Positioning adjacent work
- Tie research to funded themes: Food is Medicine, gun violence prevention, or social care measurement like UCSF's SCORE-V study.
- Health services research asks cluster $200K to $550K; community-based work should ask $25K to $150K.
- Name a city or health system partner. They fund policy change and healthcare-community partnership, not investigator-only projects.
- For Bay Area work, anchor in Oakland, Richmond, or East Contra Costa and pair with a resident-led organization.
Worth knowing: Roughly three quarters of grants go to California recipients, and a large share of the file is donor-advised: gifts to Fidelity and Schwab funds, Cal athletic funds, Crockett civic clubs, and private schools that no outside proposal would reach. The very large national health grants read as one institutional partner's fund routed through the foundation, so those themes are set by that relationship rather than open to new entrants.
