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

Cancer research and care at academic medical centers
Employee matching gifts routed through Charities Aid Foundation of America
Health capacity building in sub-Saharan Africa (South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Tanzania)
New Jersey community behavioral health and addiction treatment agencies
Oncology and cardiovascular workforce fellowships at ~$120,000 per school
Disease-association partnerships: AACR, Conquer Cancer, American Heart Association

Typical grant

The median grant is $250 and the middle half runs $100 to $875, because almost all 13,944 records are employee matching gifts rather than institutional awards. Real institutional giving sits in tight tiers: roughly $120,000 for fellowship-style awards at medical schools, $150,000 for New Jersey behavioral health agencies, $150,000 to $900,000 for global health implementing partners, and a handful of anchors from $1M to $15M. Repeat behavior is strong: AACR, Harvard, Tufts, Baylor, Mayo, Vanderbilt, MD Anderson and Medical College of Virginia each appear more than once in a single year, which reads as multi-year commitments paid in tranches.

Their words

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

“GENERAL SUPPORT”
“EMPLOYEE GIVING PROGRAM”

Positioning adjacent work

Anchor to cancer disparities or oncology workforce development, the themes carrying the largest and most repeated checks.
Size a first institutional ask at $120,000, the recurring per-institution tier for medical schools and cancer centers.
For global work, propose through or alongside an African academic partner like Wits, KwaZulu-Natal or Free State.
New Jersey community organizations should frame behavioral health service delivery and ask $150,000, matching eight identical 2024 awards.

Worth knowing: Every recipient address in the filing is the foundation's own Princeton, NJ address, so the state field tells you nothing about where money lands; the actual footprint is national academic medical centers, southern Africa, and a New Jersey community slice. Ten checks account for roughly a quarter of 2024 dollars, and awards are described only as "GENERAL SUPPORT," which signals corporate-designed initiatives and negotiated partnerships rather than responsive grantmaking.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
