The Dana & Albert R Broccoli Charitable Foundation concentrates major gifts on two parallel interests: biomedical and scientific research, and film/visual arts institutions. Grants are sizable and often directed to a small set of repeat beneficiaries (notably research institutes and film schools/museums), and the foundation supports both local (Los Angeles-area) and prominent international arts and science organizations.
Dana & Albert R Broccoli Charitable Foundation makes large, repeat gifts across two distinct lanes: biomedical research and film- and visual-arts institutions. In the recent grant list, Rancho Research Institute in Downey received multiple awards for Dr Edgerton Research, including $400,000 in 2024 and $200,000 in both 2023 and 2025, showing a sustained relationship with a research institution rather than one-off support. On the arts side, Loyola Marymount School of Film received $500,000 in 2023 for the H Fitzpatrick Pavilion, the largest single grant in the recent sample, linking the foundation to film education and facilities. The foundation also backs university medical research, independent science institutes, and cultural organizations. Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine received repeated support for the Kimmel Cancer Lab in 2024 and 2025, while Carnegie Science Institute received $125,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for a Strategic Priority Fund. In the arts, the foundation has supported BAFTA, British photography, contemporary art venues, and theater leadership programs, suggesting a portfolio built around institutional capacity and named projects rather than broad public regranting.
Biomedical research is a major thread in the foundation’s giving. UCLA Foundation received $300,000 in 2025 for the Muscular Dyst. & Psychol Dept, and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine received $200,000 in 2023 for unrestricted support plus $200,000 in 2024 and $200,000 in 2025 for the Kimmel Cancer Lab. Science institutions also appear as repeated beneficiaries. Carnegie Science Institute was awarded $125,000 in 2023 and again in 2024 for a Strategic Priority Fund, and Science Museum Foundation received $63,700 in 2024 for unrestricted support. On the arts side, the foundation funded film, photography, and theater-related work. British Academy of Film & Television received $170,000 in 2023 for the Illuminating BAFTA Fund, while Santa Barbara Museum of Art received $40,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025 for its Photography Program. Entertainment Industry Foundation also received $100,000 in 2023 and 2024 for The Theatre Leadership Project.
Grant sizes cluster around mid-five figures to low six figures, with a p25 of $10,000, a median of $15,000, and a p75 of $66,850. The recent record also includes several much larger institutional awards, indicating that the foundation can move well above its median when supporting named labs, facilities, or strategic funds. Recurrence is common: Rancho Research Institute, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Carnegie Science Institute, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and Variety Boys & Girls Club all appear across multiple years. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it funds individuals. The latest 990 year on file is 2025.
