Fulfilling our global mission and touching millions of lives by providing donated medical supplies and support to under-resourced communities.
MedShare International Inc directed $1,352,455 to Gleaning for the World in 2023 for hospital and clinical equipment, a grant that dwarfed the rest of its reported awards. That scale fits a funder built around in-kind medical distribution rather than cash-only philanthropy. MedShare’s programs center on redistributing surplus medical products, supporting biomedical equipment repair and refurbishment, and supplying partner facilities that serve medically underserved communities. The organization also ties its work to disaster readiness and response, where medical supplies move quickly into areas facing humanitarian disruption. The 2023 grant list shows a second tier of smaller equipment awards to U.S. health centers and clinics, including $52,418 to UC Davis Health Center for Health & Technology and $20,937 to Roots Outreach Team East Oakland. Those awards point to a pattern of facility support for clinics and health systems that can use donated clinical equipment directly. The foundation’s stated focus areas include primary care, maternal and child health, biomedical services, and disaster response, all of which align with its operational model of supplying resources rather than funding general operating budgets.
MedShare’s primary care work is visible in grants to community health providers that received hospital and clinical equipment for underserved patients. UC Davis Health Center for Health & Technology received $52,418, and Tiburcio Vasquez Health Center Inc received $10,516, both in 2023. Biomedical services is another clear theme. The organization supports repair, refurbishment, training, and redistribution of medical equipment, and that approach matches grants to facilities such as Lifelong Medical Care - (east Oakland), which received $9,362, and Berkeley Free Clinic, which received $8,868. Its disaster readiness and response program is built for rapid humanitarian aid and health-system recovery, while integrated health solutions for maternal and child health adds birthing kits and program support for partner facilities. The recent grant list is consistent with those priorities because it repeatedly funds clinical equipment and supplies for health partners rather than unrestricted support.
Typical grants cluster tightly around a small equipment-grant band: the median is $8,868, with the 25th percentile at $7,094 and the 75th percentile at $15,726. The 2023 grant list is dominated by one very large award and a set of much smaller facility-level grants, which is consistent with an in-kind distributor that can make both major shipments and routine replenishment awards. MedShare International Inc is a Pure DAF Provider and a Public Charity. The available recent-grant record is for 2023, so repeat-recipient patterns across years cannot be established from this data.
