Promote the well-being of individuals, families and communities; empowering you to live well.
Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano’s recent giving is anchored by very large indigent-care grants to Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, including $12,032,708 in 2024 and $8,809,068 in 2023. That pattern points to a funder built around healthcare access rather than broad philanthropy. The foundation’s stated purpose is to promote the well-being of individuals, families, and communities, and its listed focus areas include community health, access to care, behavioral health, chronic disease, maternal and child health, food access, housing, medical research, medical education, and patient assistance and indigent care. In practice, the largest awards show how central direct health support is to its work. Alongside indigent care, the foundation also backed Baylor Research Institute in Dallas with grants for research in both 2023 and 2024. Smaller grants extend that same health-oriented footprint into community needs such as homelessness services, food access, and support for people with disabilities, all within Texas.
Indigent care is the clearest theme in the grant record, with Baylor University Medical Center receiving $12,032,708 in 2024 and $8,809,068 in 2023 for that purpose. The foundation also supports medical research, giving Baylor Research Institute $109,827 in 2023 and $93,586 in 2024 for research. Beyond those health-specific awards, it made general-support grants to organizations working on housing and food access, including Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance at $15,000 in 2023 and North Texas Food Bank at $10,000 in 2023. The portfolio also includes support for disability services and systems-level community health through LifePath Systems Foundation, My Possibilities, and The Samaritan Inn.
Typical grants are small: the 25th percentile is $6,500, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is $15,000. The grant list shows both one-time and repeated support. Baylor Research Institute, Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance, North Texas Food Bank, Collin College Foundation, My Possibilities, and LifePath Systems Foundation each appear in more than one year, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. The foundation also uses program-related investments, and the listed philosophy tags include general operating support, unrestricted support, and direct service funding.
