The AstraZeneca Foundation concentrates its funding on expanding access to health care for underserved populations, making sizable operational grants to community health centers, free clinics, and homeless/HIV service providers. Grants are explicitly tied to a “Creating Health Access for Next Generation Equity” initiative, indicating a strategic focus on equity-driven primary care, maternal and child health, HIV services, and care for people experiencing homelessness. The foundation tends to fund direct service organizations rather than research or advocacy groups.
AstraZeneca Foundation (fka AstraZeneca Healthcare Foundation) repeatedly backs community health organizations with operational grants at the top end of its recent giving. The largest awards in the file are $250,000 grants tied to the Creating Health Access for Next Generation Equity program, including support for Health Care for the Homeless Inc in Baltimore, LCH Health and Community Services in Kennett Square, Community Volunteers in Medicine in West Chester, and SOME Inc in Washington, DC. That pattern points to a funder that prioritizes direct-service providers working on access to care rather than research institutions. Its recent portfolio also shows a second, steady track in cardiovascular health. Under Connections for Cardiovascular Health and the Next Generation program, the foundation funded nonprofit clinics and community health organizations with six-figure awards, then followed with additional health equity support for the same organizations in later years. The mix of large operational support, program support, and targeted initiative funding suggests a grantmaker focused on sustaining community-based health delivery models. Employee disaster relief grants also appear in the record, showing a small but distinct internal support function alongside the health portfolio.
Health access and equity sit at the center of the foundation’s recent grantmaking. It awarded $249,997 to AIDS Resource Alliance Inc in Williamsport, PA, and $211,855 to Mary’s Center for Maternal and Child Care Inc in Washington, DC, both as operational support under Creating Health Access for Next Generation Equity. Cardiovascular health is another clear area of support. The foundation gave $125,000 to Oklahoma City Indian Clinic in Oklahoma City, OK, through Connections for Cardiovascular Health- Next Generation Program, and later provided $120,000 for Health Equity Initiatives to the same clinic. Community-based primary care networks also appear repeatedly. LCH Health and Community Services in Kennett Square, PA, and Community Volunteers in Medicine in West Chester, PA each received $250,000 operational grants in both 2024 and 2025 under the health access initiative, indicating continued backing for local care delivery organizations.

Concentrated, programmatic giving: relatively few but large grants (around $400k–$500k) typically awarded in pairs to the same recipients, focused on a named initiative. Support is operational (general program/operational support) and directed to direct‑service organizations rather than a broad dispersal of small grants.
Notable grantees: SOME Inc, Health Care for the Homeless Inc, Mary's Center for Maternal and Child Care Inc, Community Volunteers in Medicine, AIDS Resource Alliance Inc
