About Kaiser Foundation Health Plan
A $10 million grant to Futuro Health stands out in Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Inc’s recent giving, pairing large-scale workforce investment with health system goals. The grant was for producing an additional 10,000 allied credential healthcare workers, showing that the foundation funds beyond direct care into the pipeline that supports care delivery. Other major awards reinforce that pattern: $1.765 million to Tides Center for Population Health Management Learning Center work, and $1.176 million to the National Council for Mental Wellbeing for the Mental Health Workforce Acceleration Collaborative. The foundation also backed public-health and community-health efforts through grants tied to wildfire recovery in Maui, food and nutrition security, and housing stability. Its recent grants include support for research, policy, direct services, capacity building, and sponsorships, with recipients ranging from universities and community foundations to health centers and local nonprofits. The overall picture is of a funder that uses sizable grants to strengthen health access, workforce capacity, and community resilience while staying closely tied to health-related delivery systems and community needs.
What Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Funds
In workforce development, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Inc gave $10 million to Futuro Health to produce an additional 10,000 allied credential healthcare workers, and $1.176 million to the National Council for Mental Wellbeing for the Mental Health Workforce Acceleration Collaborative. Those awards show a strong interest in the people who staff care systems, especially in behavioral health and allied health. In population health, the foundation gave $1.765 million to Tides Center for Population Health Management Learning Center work and $550,000 to the National Association of Community Health Centers for Population Health Management. It also supported public-health research with $490,000 to the University of Hawaii Foundation for the Maui Wildfire Exposure Study (Mauiwes).

How Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Gives
Typical grant size centers on $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $45,000 at the median, and $60,000 at the 75th percentile, so most awards are relatively modest even though a few are very large. The recent list shows repeat support across years for some organizations, including Hawaii Community Foundation, Aogf/American Online Giving Foundation, and the University of Hawaii, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Grants appear to be a mix of operating support, project support, sponsorships, and capacity-building awards.
