The Lisa Dean Moseley Foundation concentrates almost all of its giving on medical research, treatment capacity and facility expansion—especially for pediatric oncology, sickle cell disease, and blood cancers. Its grants are large and targeted, often directed to major national disease organizations and regional health systems to support research, clinical care expansion, and patient services. The foundation appears to favor repeat, high-value investments in a small set of healthcare institutions to achieve measurable improvements in care and infrastructure.
The Lisa Dean Moseley Foundation’s largest recent gifts are concentrated in pediatric oncology and sickle cell disease care at Nemours Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, including a $14,000,000 grant in 2024 and an $8,000,000 grant in 2025. That emphasis points to a funder that uses major, targeted awards to build treatment capacity rather than spread support widely across many fields. Across the recent grants listed here, the foundation also backs blood cancer research and education through national organizations and academic medical centers, with additional support for hospital-based research and care infrastructure. Its grantmaking pattern shows a mix of very large institutional investments and repeated support for a small set of health organizations. Christiana Care Health Services Inc. received two grants in the period shown, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society received two as well. The foundation also funds university and hospital partners such as Ohio State University, New York Stem Cell Foundation, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, all under the same medical research and education umbrella. The result is a portfolio centered on pediatric and hematologic disease, with an emphasis on clinical capacity, research, and specialized care delivery.
In pediatric oncology and sickle cell disease, the foundation made its largest recent commitment to Nemours Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, including the $14,000,000 grant in 2024 for medical research and expansion of specialized treatment facilities. That same theme appears in later support for the hospital’s research and education work. For blood cancer research and patient support, the foundation gave $6,249,000 to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in 2025 and $498,000 in 2023, both labeled supporting medical research and education. It also backed the American Cancer Society with $3,334,408 in 2023 and $2,314,604 in 2025. The foundation’s broader medical research portfolio includes universities and medical schools such as Ohio State University, Johns Hopkins University, and NYU Grossman School of Medicine. These grants suggest sustained interest in clinician and researcher education alongside disease-focused care.
The recent grants show a wide size range, from a median grant of $496,382 to a p75 of $1,142,651, with p25 at $249,444. The distribution includes several very large awards above $1 million and many mid-six-figure grants, indicating high-conviction institutional support. The pattern also includes repeat giving to the same recipients across years. Nemours Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, Christiana Care Health Services Inc., Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, American Cancer Society, New York Stem Cell Foundation, Ohio State University, and NYU Grossman School of Medicine each appear more than once in the recent grants list. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. All listed grants in the provided data went to U.S. recipients.

Highly concentrated: very few but very large grants, with repeat funding to the same major national and regional health organizations; funds are earmarked for research, facility expansion, and clinical program growth rather than many small or exploratory grants.
