About Baylor Health Care System Foundation
Baylor Health Care System Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by very large operating and capital commitments to Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, including a $23.3 million grant in 2024 and a $21.9 million grant in 2023 for patient care, education, medical research, community service, and capital. That pattern sits alongside major support for Baylor Research Institute, where awards of $8.4 million in 2023 and $7.8 million in 2024 were designated for medical research and equipment. The foundation also funds health system infrastructure and service delivery across affiliated Dallas-area entities, with grants for community health improvement, employee assistance, technology, patient care, and education. Its stated focus areas include cancer, capital projects and technology, community health, medical education, patient support programs, research, and transplant services. The grant record shows a health-system funder that concentrates on clinical care, research capacity, and the facilities and equipment that support both.
What Baylor Health Care System Foundation Funds
Medical research is a clear priority. Baylor Health Care System Foundation gave $8.4 million in 2023 and $7.8 million in 2024 to Baylor Research Institute for medical research and equipment. Patient care and training also appear repeatedly in grants to HealthTexas Provider Network, which received $1.2 million in 2023 and $487,228 in 2024 for patient care and education. Community health work shows up in support for Southern Sector Health Initiative, including $864,550 in 2023 and $622,541 in 2024 for a community health and wellness center. The foundation also backs systemwide capacity-building: Baylor Scott & White Health received $3.2 million in 2024 and $3.1 million in 2023 for community health improvement, education, employee assistance, and technology.
