Del E Webb Foundation

About Del E Webb Foundation

Del E Webb Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by a large, repeated commitment to health sciences education and medical training facilities in Arizona. Two consecutive $500,000 grants to Creighton University for its health sciences campus in Phoenix show that the foundation supports capital campaigns over multiple years, not just one-time awards. That same pattern appears in hospital education infrastructure, with $373,000 awarded in both 2023 and 2024 to Honorhealth Foundation for Phase III medical training center renovation in Scottsdale. The foundation’s portfolio also includes health-care access projects tied to physical facilities and equipment. It gave $366,000 to Chiricahua Community Health Centers for a modular building for a healthcare clinic in Douglas, and $250,000 to La Paz Regional Hospital for an electronic health record system in Parker. Other recent awards support neonatal care, community health centers, housing connected to health services, and emergency response equipment, indicating a preference for permanent improvements and service-delivery infrastructure. The pattern is broad in sector terms but narrow in method: capital, equipment, and capacity-building support for institutions serving Arizona communities, with some grantmaking extending into California and Nevada.

What Del E Webb Foundation Funds

Health sciences education is one of the clearest themes in the foundation’s recent grants. It awarded $500,000 to Creighton University for a capital campaign for a health sciences campus in Phoenix, and another $373,000 to Honorhealth Foundation for Phase III medical training center renovation. Health-care access and clinical infrastructure also receive direct support. Chiricahua Community Health Centers received $366,000 to purchase a modular building for a healthcare clinic, while La Paz Regional Hospital received $250,000 for an electronic health record system. Maternal and pediatric care appears in the grant list as well. Phoenix Children’s Hospital Foundation was awarded $250,000 for 10 beds and five jaundice lights for the NICU, and Hushabye Nursery received $150,000 for equipment, supplies, and signage for a neonatal nursery. The foundation also funds adjacent support systems, including $250,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Las Vegas for renovation of its original house.
