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
- Operating support for Mayo's own hospitals and regional health systems
- Research subawards to academic medical centers on multi-site studies
- Cancer center and children's hospital research collaborations
- Rochester and Olmsted County social services, housing, legal aid
- Medical education and training through Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research
Typical grant
Median grant is $52,500 and the middle half runs $20,970 to $183,889, so most outside recipients land in the tens of thousands to low hundreds of thousands. The nine-figure checks all go to Mayo's own entities (Jacksonville, Arizona, the MCHS regions, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research), and those five alone account for over $500M in a single year. External university payments in the $100K to $3M range look like study-year installments and recur across filings, which points to multi-year research agreements rather than one-time gifts.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “SUPPORT RESEARCH PROGRAM”
- “SUPPORT CHARITABLE PROGRAMS”
- “SUPPORT CHARITABLE PURPOSE”
Positioning adjacent work
- Treat this as subaward flow, not open giving; the path is co-investigator status on a Mayo-led study.
- Benchmark an ask at $150K to $500K per year, matching UCSF, Indiana, and MD Anderson levels.
- Emphasize site enrollment capacity or a registry role; the FTD Disorders Registry line shows they fund infrastructure.
- If Rochester-based and community-facing, size at $100K to $200K, matching United Way and Boys and Girls Club.
Worth knowing: The overwhelming majority of dollars stay inside the Mayo system, so the $1.77B total badly overstates what is available to outsiders. External money splits into two unrelated streams: research payments to peer academic centers that almost certainly originate in existing Mayo investigator collaborations, and a tight cluster of Rochester and Olmsted County nonprofits that repeat year to year.
Top recipients
Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
