Funding Style
About Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center
Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center’s recent giving is dominated by very large general-support grants to its own affiliated health organizations in Dallas: $13,801,910 to Hillcrest Physician Services in 2023, $13,369,856 in 2024, $12,534,483 to Hillcrest Family Health Center in 2024, and $9,209,915 in 2023. That pattern shows a funder that uses major flexible funding to support core operations rather than narrowly designated project grants. The foundation also makes smaller general-support grants to community health and health-adjacent nonprofits across Texas. American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, March of Dimes, Mission Waco, and YMCA of Central Texas all appear in the recent grant list, suggesting a portfolio that mixes institutional support with broader community well-being efforts. Its stated focus areas include medical research, nursing excellence, oncology and cancer research, transplant services, palliative care and hospice, pastoral care and counseling, neonatal and NICU care, community clinics and indigent care, medical education, disaster relief and emergency assistance, veterans’ continuing education, and support for employees. The presence of program-related investments indicates that the organization can also use capital beyond grant dollars to advance mission-related work.
What Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center Funds
Medical care and health system support are central to the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $13,801,910 to Hillcrest Physician Services in 2023 and $13,369,856 in 2024, both for general support, alongside $12,534,483 to Hillcrest Family Health Center in 2024 for general support. The broader public-health portfolio includes cancer and cardiovascular organizations. Recent grants include $10,000 to American Cancer Society in 2023 and again in 2024, plus $8,000 to American Heart Association in 2023 and 2024, both as general support. Community-serving groups also receive operating help. Mission Waco was awarded $7,000 in 2023 and $7,600 in 2024, while YMCA of Central Texas received $7,500 in both 2023 and 2024. These awards show support for local service organizations rather than only clinical institutions.
How Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center Gives
Grant size is sharply bimodal. The typical award is small—p25 is $7,600 and the median is $10,000—while the p75 jumps to $9,209,915, reflecting a mix of modest community grants and very large institutional support. The recent record shows repeated awards to the same recipients across 2023 and 2024, especially for general support, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. The funder is a medical-center foundation with program-related investments and flexible funding as part of its approach. All reported grants in the recent list are general support, and the recipient base is entirely within the US.
