The Keyes Foundation concentrates its giving on health and medical-related causes, with a strong preference for funding regional health systems and academic medical institutions. Grants are modest in number but meaningful in size, and the foundation uses community foundations as vehicles for place-based philanthropy in the Pacific region. Repeat support for a local health foundation suggests a focus on sustaining patient care and local health services.
Concentrated giving: few, relatively large grants with repeat funding to an established regional health partner; mixes direct grants to medical institutions with gifts routed through community foundations for geographic impact.
Keyes Foundation’s giving is anchored in health care and patient support, with repeated support for regional hospitals and medical institutions. The largest recent award in the record is $50,000 to Evergreen Health Foundation in Kirkland, a gift that sits alongside several other grants to the same beneficiary in 2024 and 2025. That recurring pattern points to sustained support rather than one-time project funding. The foundation also backs academic medicine. It gave $30,000 to UCSF Foundation in 2025 and $20,000 in 2024, showing continued support for university-linked health programs. Alongside those grants, Keyes Foundation has funded Swedish Medical Center Foundation in Seattle in multiple years, including $25,000 in 2024 and 2025 and $20,000 in 2023. Beyond direct medical institutions, the foundation uses community-based organizations to support local health and charitable services. Examples include Hawaii Community Foundation, which received $30,000 in 2024, and Hualalai Ohana Foundation in Kailua Kona, which received support in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The overall pattern is a regional health-oriented funder with a preference for organizational support and sustained relationships.
Health care is the clearest throughline in Keyes Foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $50,000 to Evergreen Health Foundation for hospital and patient-care support, then followed with additional awards of $30,000 in 2025 and $25,000 in 2024. That sequence suggests ongoing attention to health system stability. Academic medicine also appears in the record. The foundation awarded $30,000 to UCSF Foundation in 2025 and $20,000 in 2024, tying its giving to a university-based health institution. Community health and basic needs show up through Seattle-area nonprofits. Grants of $15,000 to Union Gospel Mission and $15,000 to Northwest Harvest in 2025, plus prior awards to both organizations, indicate support for food and emergency assistance alongside medical giving. The foundation also makes place-based gifts through community organizations, including $30,000 to Hawaii Community Foundation and $10,000 to San Juan Community Foundation.
Keyes Foundation’s recent grants cluster around a median of $8,000, with the middle half of gifts between $3,500 and $11,500. It makes a relatively small number of grants compared with its annual giving total of $690,750, which suggests a concentrated approach. Recurring support is common. Evergreen Health Foundation, Swedish Medical Center Foundation, UCSF Foundation, and several community nonprofits appear across multiple years in the grant list. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The listed grants are consistent with flexible organizational support rather than individual aid.
