Support research, education, and lifesaving clinical care while improving population health and community well-being.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic’s grantmaking is anchored by major support for educational services and charitable research, with its largest recent award going to Trustees of Dartmouth College for $1,038,461 in 2025. The foundation also shows a repeated pattern of backing health-system partners, including the Foundation for Healthy Communities and The Hitchcock Foundation, alongside research institutions and medical centers across several states. Its giving aligns with a broad mission to support research, education, and lifesaving clinical care while improving population health and community well-being. The portfolio points to a funder that operates at both institutional and community levels. Large awards support educational services and research, while smaller program-support grants reach local organizations working on community health priorities. Named recipients in the recent-grants list include Kaiser Foundation Research Institute, Maine Medical Center, Boston University, and Oregon Health & Science University. The foundation’s active programs show that its work is not limited to hospital-based care: it also invests in community health, prevention, health equity, and workforce development through partnerships in New Hampshire, Vermont, and the surrounding Dartmouth Health service area.
Community health is a clear throughline. Under Community Health Investments, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic partners with public health organizations, towns, schools, police, and community organizations; a 2025 grant of $259,424 to Foundation for Healthy Communities (NHHA) fits that pattern through program support. Medical education and workforce capacity are another focus. The foundation awarded $1,038,461 to Trustees of Dartmouth College for charitable educational services, and its active Workforce Development program includes scholarships, training partnerships, and apprenticeships in New Hampshire, Vermont, and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock service area. Research also appears repeatedly in the recent-grants list. In 2025, Kaiser Foundation Research Institute received $283,872 for charitable research, while Oregon Clinic Pc received $83,785 for the same purpose. The list also includes charitable research support for Seven Counties Services Inc and Centerstone Research Institute Inc, suggesting a steady emphasis on health-related study and evaluation.

Typical grant size sits around the mid five-figures: the 25th percentile is $8,406, the median is $13,050, and the 75th percentile is $25,276. That profile sits alongside a much larger set of institutional awards, including seven-figure support and multiple grants above $200,000. The pattern suggests a mix of large program investments and smaller operating or project support. The recent-grants list shows repeat recipients across years, including Trustees of Dartmouth College, Foundation for Healthy Communities (NHHA), and The Hitchcock Foundation. That repetition points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. The foundation makes program-related investments and, in its active programs, uses sponsorships, investments, scholarships, and training partnerships. It does not accept unsolicited applications in the Workforce Development program, which is the only application detail provided.
Grantmaking is national, but it lands most often in New Hampshire, which accounts for 38% of grants. Hanover, Concord, Lebanon, and Claremont appear among New Hampshire recipients, while Portland and Boston show up repeatedly in other states. The recipient list also includes Los Angeles, Charleston, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Louisville, Nashville, Birmingham, and Keene. Outside the United States, none of the recent grants listed were made to non-U.S. recipients; the country distribution is entirely U.S.-based. That geographic pattern fits a funder that concentrates heavily in its regional service area while also supporting selected research and education partners nationwide.
Its listed focus areas include cancer research and care, child health, heart and vascular care, mental and behavioral health, neuromedicine, nursing, palliative and hospice care, medical education, and community health. The active programs also emphasize prevention, health equity, and workforce development tied to community health and care delivery.
The grant-size distribution is relatively modest for many awards: the 25th percentile is $8,406, the median is $13,050, and the 75th percentile is $25,276. At the same time, the recent-grants list includes several much larger awards, including a $1,038,461 grant in 2025.
No. New Hampshire receives the largest share of grants, with 38% of awards, but the recipient list also includes organizations in California, Maine, Massachusetts, Oregon, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Maryland, and more. The scope of giving is national.
For the Workforce Development program, it does not accept unsolicited applications. The active-program descriptions instead emphasize partnerships, scholarships, training, apprenticeships, sponsorships, and community investments tied to identified community health priorities.
Yes. Trustees of Dartmouth College appears in 2023 and 2025, Foundation for Healthy Communities (NHHA) appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and The Hitchcock Foundation appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated grants.
