About City of Hope National Medical Center
City of Hope National Medical Center centers its grantmaking on community benefit work tied to health, with recent awards spanning operating support, health equity, healthy living, food access, and medical education. The largest recent grants are three $8,000,000 operating support awards to City of Hope Medical Foundation in 2023, 2024, and 2025, showing a repeated institutional commitment at a very large scale. Beyond those major awards, the foundation also funded The Translational Genomics Research Institute with $611,088 in 2025 for operating support, alongside other health-related recipients in Southern California and Arizona. The foundation’s public community-benefit programs add another layer to that picture. FY2024 initiatives include Healthy Living, Health Equity, Community Capacity Building, and the Food for All Initiative in the Greater San Gabriel Valley Hospital Collaborative. It also lists small community grants through City of Hope Kindness Grants, plus food-access programs such as Produce for Patients, Garden of Hope, and Kids Run Farmers Markets. Across these efforts, the pattern is less about one narrow program and more about direct support for health-focused partners, local community organizations, and services that connect clinical work to nearby communities.

Food access is another recurring area. Eco Urban Gardens received $45,000 in 2023 as a Community Benefit Grant, while Growing Hope Gardens received $8,420 in 2024 through Healthy Living and Kindness Grants. The FY2024 Community Benefit Report also names the Food for All Initiative in the Greater San Gabriel Valley Hospital Collaborative, plus Produce for Patients, Garden of Hope, and Kids Run Farmers Markets. Capacity building appears through local nonprofit support as well. Inland Valley Hope Partners received $10,000 in 2024 as a Community Building Grant, and Antelope Valley Partners for Health received $10,400 for the same category.
