Based on grants this organization reported to the IRS for tax years 2021–2023. 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

HIV vaccine consortium subawards (IAVI, Emory, La Jolla Institute, Rockefeller)
Digital health platforms and participant recruitment (CareEvolution, Fitbit, Owaves, Montage)
Contract research: tox, cGMP manufacturing, medicinal chemistry, central labs
Blood centers and biospecimen collection sites across many states
Academic collaborator sites in immunology, structural biology, genomics

Typical grant

Median payment is about $220,000, with the middle half between $67,000 and $692,000. The eight-figure and seven-figure checks go to consortium leads and platform vendors on Scripps-led multi-site programs (IAVI at $9.9M, CareEvolution at $7.8M, Emory at $6.5M), while blood centers and single-lab collaborators sit in the $130,000 to $750,000 band. With 334 payments to 186 recipients over three years, roughly half the partners are paid in more than one year, so once a site is on a program the money recurs until the program ends.

Their words

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

“"GRANTS FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH" is the sole purpose line on every payment in the record”
“"RESEARCH INSTITUTE" and "RESEARCH FOUNDATION" dominate the nonprofit recipient names, alongside university sponsored-research offices”
“"BLOOD BANK," "BLOOD INSTITUTE," "BLOOD CENTER" recur across five states, signaling specimen-collection roles”
“"INC" and "LLC" recipients outnumber classic charities in the large-payment tier, meaning vendor and CRO agreements sit in the same table”

Positioning adjacent work

Pitch yourself as a subaward site on an existing Scripps-led program, not as a standalone grantee.
Connect to the HIV vaccine consortium work or the digital trials and wearables cohort infrastructure.
Size a first-year site budget at $150,000 to $700,000, matching their collaborator band.
Lead with what you bring: cohort access, specimens, assay capacity, or a validated recruitment channel.

Worth knowing: This is not discretionary philanthropy. The payments are research subawards and vendor contracts flowing out of Scripps-led programs largely funded upstream, so the entry point is a Scripps principal investigator writing you into a proposal, not an approach to the institution. California takes 86 of 334 payments and the top ten recipients absorb the large majority of the $307M, with the visible record concentrated in 2023.

Top recipients

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