About De Beaumont Foundation
De Beaumont Foundation Inc. stands out for building the infrastructure of public health rather than funding direct services. Its recent grants repeatedly support state and local systems, especially workforce development, data tools, communications capacity, and cross-sector partnerships that public health agencies can use over time. A recurring thread is investment in sector-wide platforms: the foundation has backed CityHealth with general operating support through Vose River Charitable Fund, supported the Public Health Communications Collaborative, and funded the Big Cities Health Coalition’s data platform and related work with Drexel University. It also uses philanthropy to strengthen leadership and organizational practice, including support for state health leaders, public health training, and JEDI transformation technical assistance. The foundation’s portfolio shows a preference for programmatic work at the national level, with grants flowing to intermediaries, universities, professional associations, and coalition organizations that can influence multiple jurisdictions at once. In mental health research, it has supported studies on U.S. adults through Boston University and Johns Hopkins University. In public health practice, its grants often help connect data, policy, and communication so state and local agencies can respond more effectively to emerging challenges.
What De Beaumont Foundation Funds
Public health communications is a visible priority. In 2025, De Beaumont Foundation Inc. gave $276,600 to Public Good Projects for the Public Health Communications Collaborative Initiative, and in 2024 it awarded $112,500 to Trust for America's Health to support the Public Health Communications Collaborative. It also backed infodemic work with a $500,000 grant to The Public Goods Projects Inc for training and capacity building for state and local health departments. Workforce development is another consistent theme. The foundation gave $140,000 each in 2023 and 2024 to the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials for workforce development support, and $125,000 in both 2023 and 2024 to the National Network of Public Health Institutes for advancing the strategic capacity of the public health workforce. In public health equity and city policy, it supported the Health Action Alliance with grants through Vose River Charitable Fund and funded an Inclusion Nextwork Inc. technical assistance grant for JEDI transformation. It also backed the American Public Health Association for Healing Through Policy.
