About Mount Auburn Hospital
Mount Auburn Hospital’s largest recent grant was $10,197,174 to Beth Israel Lahey Health Specialty Care for access to primary and specialty care, a clear signal that the institution’s giving is centered on care delivery rather than broad philanthropic programing. The foundation pairs that clinical emphasis with support for medical education, community health, and organizations working on identified health needs in its service area. Recent awards also show repeated support for Medical Care of Boston Management Corp, which received $708,712 in 2025 for access to primary and/or specialty care. Smaller grants extend the same pattern into community settings, including housing, transportation, food, and youth-serving organizations. Mount Auburn Hospital’s summary states its purpose is to provide clinically excellent care with compassion and to teach students of medicine and the health professions. That mission is reflected in grants to Harvard Medical School for medical education and research and to President and Fellows of Harvard College for teaching and research. The funding profile combines large health-system grants with many smaller local awards aimed at access and community health needs.

The foundation also supported food- and neighborhood-based health supports, including $12,500 to Waltham Fields Community Farm in 2024 and $10,000 to African Cultural Services Inc in 2025. Education and research are another strand: Harvard Medical School received $496,354 in 2025 for medical education and research, while President and Fellows of Harvard College received the same amount in 2024 for teaching and research. The grants also include organizations tied to racial equity and mental health, such as Coalition of Racial Equity in Mental Health (core Mh) and De Novo Center for Justice and Healing Inc.
