About Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare
A defining feature of Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Corporation’s grantmaking is its sustained support for Adventist higher education and health-related institutions, with multiple large general-support awards recurring across several years. Recent grants include $4,000,000 to Andrews University, $2,580,000 to Oakwood University Inc, and $2,505,000 each to Southwestern Adventist University and Southern Adventist University, showing a pattern of substantial operating support to affiliated schools. The foundation also backs health-system entities, including a $1,250,000 grant to Rocky Mountain Adventist Healthcare Foundation and a $900,007 grant to AdventHealth Foundation Inc. Its stated focus areas include hospital and clinical services, community health and community benefits, global medical missions, maternal and child health, diabetes and obesity research, transplant services, dental and vision outreach, and health education and training. The organization’s summary describes its work as extending the healing ministry of Christ through whole-person care that addresses body, mind, and spirit. This mix of education, clinical, and mission-related support suggests a funder that uses grants to reinforce the broader Adventist health and service network rather than a single narrow program area.
What Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Funds
In education, the foundation repeatedly funds Adventist colleges and universities with general support. Andrews University received $3,700,000 in 2025 and $1,527,039 in 2024, while Union College received $2,500,000 in 2025 and $2,200,000 in 2025, indicating sustained institutional support. Health-system support is another clear thread: AdventHealth Foundation Inc received $900,007 in 2025 and $311,582 in 2025, both listed as general support. The grantmaking also includes mission-linked and youth-related work, such as $977,599 to Center for Youth Evangelism Inc in 2025. Across these awards, the purpose text is usually general support rather than project-specific funding, which points to flexible backing for affiliated organizations. The recent grants also show support for schools in multiple states, including Berrien Springs, Lincoln, and Columbia, tied to the broader Adventist network.
How Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Gives
Typical grant size is $24,500 at the 25th percentile, $65,009 at the median, and $200,000 at the 75th percentile, but the recent grant list also shows several multi-million-dollar awards. The same recipients appear across multiple years, especially Andrews University, Oakwood University, Southwestern Adventist University, Southern Adventist University, and Union College, which suggests recurring support rather than isolated one-time gifts. The funder makes program-related investments and does not fund individuals. Available grant listings are dominated by general support, consistent with the foundation’s stated philosophy of unrestricted, core, and operational support. Accepting unsolicited applications is not indicated in the active programs shown.
