About Dalio Family Fund
Dalio Family Fund Inc repeatedly makes large restricted grants tied to named initiatives, with several $10 million awards in the recent record. The clearest signal in the data is its support for the Dalio Center for Health Justice at The New York and Presbyterian Hospital, which appears in multiple years, including 2023, 2024, and 2025. Another major line of giving supports polio eradication, including a $10 million grant to Gates Philanthropy Partners and a $5 million grant to National Philanthropic Trust for polio eradication projects. The funder also backs human-centered AI work, with grants to Stanford and Mayo Clinic for seed funding, AI innovation, and AI in clinical practice. Beyond those priorities, the portfolio includes ocean research and exploration, disconnected youth workforce support, and programming connected to Connecticut Rise Network. The pattern suggests a funder that uses substantial, purpose-specific grants to support both institutional initiatives and operating needs across health, education, technology, and civic-focused work.
