Loma Linda University Shared Services Inc concentrates its giving in the Inland Empire with a strong local focus on health, education, and community resilience. Grants frequently support Adventist-affiliated institutions (e.g., Loma Linda Academy, Loma Linda University Health Care) and programs that build healthcare workforce pipelines, youth services, food security, and neighborhood-level community development. Funding choices favor direct service nonprofits, schools, and local government/community projects rather than large national policy advocacy. The foundation often makes repeat, mid-sized awards to the same organizations, indicating sustained partnerships with core local grantees.
A defining feature of Loma Linda University Shared Services Inc is its repeated support for Loma Linda Academy, including a $253,004 educational grant in 2024 and a $103,004 community, health, and educational related grant in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that backs long-term local relationships rather than isolated awards. Across its recent grants, the foundation supports education, healthcare workforce development, food security, youth services, and neighborhood-based community programs in San Bernardino County and nearby Inland Empire communities. The giving profile is especially tied to Adventist-affiliated education and local service providers. Loma Linda Academy, Health Career Connection, El Sol Neighborhood Educational Center, and Benjamin E Jones Community Resource Center all appear in the recent grant list, each receiving substantial support for education-related, health-related, or community purposes. The foundation also funds organizations serving children, families, and residents through direct service, including youth mentoring, child advocacy, recovery, and food assistance. Grant amounts range from smaller project awards to larger mid-sized commitments, with a clear preference for organizations embedded in the local community.
Education is central to the foundation’s grantmaking. Loma Linda Academy received $111,171 in 2023 and $103,004 in 2025, both for educational and community, health, and educational related purposes. In healthcare pipeline work, Health Career Connection received $140,000 in 2025 and $85,000 in both 2024 and 2023 for health education and related programming. The foundation also supports community infrastructure and resident services. Benjamin E Jones Community Resource Center received $131,000 in 2025 and $30,000 in 2024 for community, health, and educational related work, as well as $25,000 in 2023 for a community grant. Food security appears in awards to Food in Need of Distribution Inc and FINE Food Bank, including $75,000 in 2025 and $67,480 in 2023. Youth and family services are another consistent thread, with grants to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oc and Ie Inc, Child Advocates of San Bernardino County, and El Sol Neighborhood Educational Center.
