The Nancy D. Carmichael Trust concentrates its philanthropy on major health institutions, providing sizable, general-support gifts to national and academic medical organizations. Grants are focused on medical research and treatment—especially cardiovascular disease and cancer—and are directed to well-established institutions rather than small local charities. The foundation tends to make repeat, large gifts to a handful of institutional grantees, often as unrestricted or general operating support.
Nancy D Carmichael Trust Xxxxx3006 concentrates its giving on major health institutions with repeated, high-dollar general-support grants. The largest recent award in the file was $135,838 to the American Heart Association in Dallas, followed by another grant of $125,245 to the same organization in the next year. That pattern points to a small institutional portfolio rather than broad-based grantmaking. Across the recent grants listed, the trust also supported academic medical centers tied to cancer care and biomedical research, including MD Anderson Cancer Center and Baylor College of Medicine. Those awards were both recorded as general support, and the 2024 grants to each were $62,622. The trust’s profile is consistent with a funder that backs established health organizations and medical schools rather than local charities or individual programs. Its grantmaking centers on cardiovascular disease, cancer research and treatment, and core support for large health institutions.
