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

  • General support to affiliated John Muir Physician Network
  • Affiliated behavioral health operations in Walnut Creek
  • John Muir Health Foundation and Mt. Diablo Community Health Fund
  • Contra Costa youth mental health and family violence services
  • Homelessness, shelter, and food security in Contra Costa County
  • Free surgical and specialty care for uninsured residents

Typical grant

Strip out the affiliate transfers and the community portfolio runs about $5 million a year across roughly 50 organizations, median $50,000, with the middle half between $20,000 and $126,750. The biggest outside checks go to two long-term partners, Fred Finch Youth Center ($504,451 in 2024, $573,220 in 2023) and Contra Costa Family Justice Center ($492,500 and $490,000); the $7,500 to $45,000 tier is almost entirely event sponsorships. Giving repeats year over year at nearly identical amounts, so the roster is stable rather than competitive.

  • CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT & SPONSORSHIP

Positioning adjacent work

  • Anchor to behavioral health, youth mental health, or violence recovery, their largest non-affiliate commitments by far.
  • Ask $50,000 to $150,000 for direct service delivery, not $500,000 and not investigator-led research.
  • Serve Contra Costa residents explicitly; Concord, Richmond, Martinez, and Antioch appear repeatedly in the record.
  • Frame work as access for uninsured and low-income patients, as Operation Access and the oral health program do.

Worth knowing: Over 98 percent of the $401 million flows to John Muir's own entities, so the real outside pool is small and geographically locked to Contra Costa and adjacent East Bay cities. The same 40-odd grantees recur every year at similar dollar levels, which reads as community benefit commitments and existing relationships rather than open competition; new names in 2024 entered at $6,000 to $26,100 sponsorship size.

Top recipients

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