Cambia Health Foundation

About Cambia Health Foundation

Cambia Health Foundation’s largest recent grant went to Cambia Health Solutions - Employee Giving, signaling how central workplace philanthropy is to its portfolio. That same pattern appears across the foundation’s top awards: it uses a small number of large grants to support employee giving, palliative care leadership, and targeted health equity work. The foundation also invests in health care workforce development and healthy, connected aging through named programs and invitation-only awards. Recent grants show a mix of internal philanthropy and external health-focused giving. Cambia Health Solutions - Employee Giving received awards of $892,563 in 2025, $1,068,641 in 2024, and $981,021 in 2023. Outside the company, the foundation has funded palliative care training through UCSF Division of Palliative Medicine and Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation, and it has supported community health partnerships, resilient children and families, and aging-related services. Its grantmaking appears structured around strategic, program-linked grants rather than broad small-grant activity. Recipients include universities, hospitals, community organizations, and philanthropic intermediaries, with repeated support for health education, workforce pipelines, and whole-person care.
