Healthnetwork Foundation connects CEOs and business leaders with top hospitals and doctors to provide fast access to world-class care and increase philanthropic funding for medical research.
Healthnetwork Foundation Fka Health Net Foundation Inc uses general support grants to back hospitals, physicians, and medical research, with a clear emphasis on care delivery and clinical expertise. In the recent grants list, its largest award was $1,575,000 to various grants under 5000 per for general support, showing a broad distribution pattern alongside larger institutional grants. The foundation also committed $520,000 to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and $500,000 to John Hopkins, both for general support, indicating repeated support for major medical institutions. Its giving lines up with a long-running model of supporting hospitals and physicians rather than narrowly defined projects. Awards in the dataset also include recurring support to University Hospitals and Cleveland Clinic, plus grants to specialty medical centers such as Cedars Sinai Medical Center and Hospitals for Special Surgery. The foundation’s active grant programs describe recognition-based awards, hospital department support, and philanthropic funding for medical research and hospital programs. Across these channels, the common thread is flexible funding for clinical work, research activity, and institutional capacity.
Medical research is a central theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2025, it gave $269,500 to Cleveland Clinic for general support and $50,000 to Duke Cancer Center for general support, both consistent with its support for research and clinical activity. Hospital and department support also appears throughout the grants list. The foundation awarded $190,000 to University Hospitals in 2025 and $40,000 to Cincinnati Children's Hospital in 2025, both as general support. It also provided $100,000 to Cedars Sinai Medical Center and $30,000 to Yale New Haven Hospital, reinforcing a hospital-centered funding pattern. Specialty care is another visible thread. Grants to Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Uc Health Barrett Cancer Center, and Hospitals for Special Surgery show support for eye care, cancer care, and specialized hospital services.
The grant-size profile centers on modest awards, with a p25 of $10,000, a median of $20,000, and a p75 of $35,000. The recent grants list also includes several larger general-support awards, but most individual grants cluster well below those larger figures. Healthnetwork Foundation Fka Health Net Foundation Inc is a public charity, not a donor-advised fund or private family foundation. The available data shows recurring support to the same institutions across multiple years, including John Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Hospitals for Special Surgery, Duke Cancer Center, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, and Uc Health Barrett Cancer Center. No public application process is described, and the active programs indicate unsolicited requests are not accepted for several award types.
