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

  • Community organizing and power building for health equity in California
  • General operating support for grassroots and statewide advocacy groups
  • Racial justice infrastructure: Black, Latino, Native, AAPI, immigrant-led organizations
  • Community health centers, health workforce, and clinic infrastructure
  • Youth leadership, boys and men of color, school health and safety
  • Regional intermediaries and community foundations in Central Valley, Inland, North Coast

Typical grant

Median grant is $100,000, with the middle half between $25,000 and $193,450. The largest checks, $1M to $2.8M, go to statewide intermediaries, community foundations, and pooled funds that regrant (Sierra Health Foundation Center, California Community Foundation, Community Partners, PICO California). Small grants are single-organization operating support. With 4,046 grants to 1,121 recipients over four years, the same organizations show up repeatedly, often two to four times a year across different initiatives.

Their words

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

  • health equity
  • building power
  • general operating support
  • movement infrastructure
  • health and racial equity
  • community wellness

Positioning adjacent work

  • Frame the work as building community power for health, not as a research project or service delivery.
  • Ask $100,000 to $350,000 for a first relationship; multi-million asks go to established intermediaries.
  • Name the California region served and the racial or immigrant community leading the work.
  • Connect to a funded theme by name: boys and men of color, narrative strategy, climate resilience, or health workforce.

Worth knowing: This is a California funder in every practical sense: 3,589 of 4,046 grants stay in state, and the DC and NY recipients are national intermediaries doing California work. Money concentrates in a handful of repeat regranting partners, and giving looks strongly relationship-driven, so an unconnected researcher is usually better off entering as a partner to an existing grantee like Public Health Institute, Prevention Institute, or a regional community foundation.
