Based on grants this organization reported to the IRS for tax years 2021–2024. This is what they filed, not a complete record of their giving, and recent years may be incomplete because filings lag.

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

Subawards to Harvard, MGH, Beth Israel Deaconess, MIT, Dana-Farber
Population genomics cohorts: Color Health, Geisinger Clinic, Regeneron-scale biobank partners
Genomic data platforms: UC Santa Cruz, New York Genome Center, Seven Bridges
Therapeutics development with small biotech LLCs (Emugen, 3 Point Bio, AmplifyBio)
Data visualization, reagent distribution, informatics vendors (Fathom, Addgene)
Long tail of single-site disease research at ~90 universities

Typical grant

Median is $214,318, with the middle half between $79,674 and $663,665. The eight-figure checks go to a fixed set of Boston-area partners (Harvard $15.8M, MGH $11.4M, BIDMC $10.6M in 2024), while most institutions outside Massachusetts land in the $50K to $500K band. Repeat funding is the norm: Harvard, MGH, BIDMC, MIT, Dana-Farber, Stanford, Geisinger, Color, and Fathom all appear in consecutive years at similar scale.

Their words

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

“RESEARCH”
“Genomics”
“Therapeutics”
“Genome Center”
“Medical Research”

Positioning adjacent work

Treat this as subaward flow, not philanthropy. Get named on a Broad-led consortium before any money moves.
Connect to their population genomics line: Color, Geisinger, UCSC. Cohort access and phenotype depth are the currency.
For a single-site role outside Massachusetts, budget $100K to $500K. Larger asks go only to Boston partners.
Emphasize a capability the Broad cannot run in-house: a specialized assay, a patient cohort, an analysis platform.

Worth knowing: Every grant is coded simply RESEARCH, and the pattern is subcontracting on Broad-run projects rather than responsive grantmaking; 116 of 417 grants stay in Massachusetts and the top five recipients absorb most of the total. Commercial entities show up repeatedly (Emugen, Eurofins DiscoverX, General Dynamics IT, BlueHalo), so vendor and service relationships sit alongside academic collaborations in the same filings.

Top recipients

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