About Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
Cedars-sinai Medical Center’s recent philanthropy centers on Los Angeles systems that connect health care with housing, workforce development, youth services, and community well-being. One of its largest recent awards was $8,850,000 to the California Community Foundation for general support, workforce development, and homelessness work, a signal that the funder supports broad community infrastructure as well as direct service. Another major grant, $3,735,000 to United Way of Greater Los Angeles, reinforces that pattern of backing large intermediary organizations with local reach. The foundation also supports health-focused institutions and programs tied to access and equity, including $1,000,000 to Plunum Health for community health and $890,000 to the Regents of the University of California for health equity. Grants in the record include support for youth center development, housing, capacity building, and community safety, alongside clinical and research-related interests aligned with its identity as a nonprofit academic healthcare organization. Across the recent grants list, the emphasis is less on narrow project funding than on strengthening organizations and service networks that serve low-income and underserved communities.
What Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Funds
Housing and homelessness are recurring themes in the recent record. Cedars-sinai Medical Center gave $8,850,000 to the California Community Foundation for workforce development and homelessness work, and $820,000 to True Colors United for housing for the youth. Community health also appears as a direct funding area: the foundation awarded $1,000,000 to Plunum Health for community health and $500,000 to Healthcare in Action Medical Group for health. Youth-oriented investments show up in both place-based and service settings, including $1,250,000 to Carol Kimmelman Athletic and Academic Campus Inc for youth center development and $552,000 to the Lausd Education Foundation for training and education. The foundation also supports food and sustainability work, including $725,250 to Special Service for Groups Inc for community food and sustainability.
How Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Gives
The typical grant size is $17,250 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $101,250 at the 75th percentile, which shows a mix of smaller operating awards and larger institutional grants. The recent record includes repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, such as the California Community Foundation, Southern California Grantmakers, Tides Center, Lulu's Place Inc, and True Colors United. Cedars-sinai Medical Center is a regular funder and a maker of program-related investments, and the grant list shows a strong preference for general support alongside capacity building, workforce development, and related operating uses. The recent grants also suggest a locally oriented institutional strategy rather than an open application model.
