About Nuvance Health
Nuvance Health’s grantmaking is built around health care delivery: patient care programs, medical equipment, research, education, and community health initiatives. The foundation’s recent grants show that pattern in practice, with repeated support for cancer and cardiovascular research, local patient services, and community programs tied to wellness and basic needs. Its giving also extends beyond clinical settings into food support, family services, and local economic activity. A consistent thread is support for organizations serving people affected by cancer. Nuvance Health gave multiple grants to Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation for local families facing breast cancer diagnoses, and to Sparrow’s Nest for meals and supplies for families dealing with the hardships of a cancer diagnosis. It also backed American Cancer Society for cancer research and health and wellness. Another clear theme is cardiovascular work. The foundation funded American Heart Association for cardiovascular research, health, and wellness, alongside community-facing grants such as Walkway Over the Hudson for health and wellness in the community. Across these areas, the grants suggest a regional funder supporting both medical and social needs connected to health outcomes.
What Nuvance Health Funds
Cancer-related support is one of the clearest priorities. Nuvance Health gave $25,000 to American Cancer Society in 2023 for cancer research, health and wellness, and it also supported Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation with $20,000 in 2025 for local families affected by breast cancer diagnosis. Cardiovascular work is another recurring area. The foundation awarded $25,000 to American Heart Association in 2023 for cardiovascular research and health and wellness, followed by additional grants in 2024 and 2025 for the same purpose. Beyond disease-specific funding, Nuvance Health supports practical community services. It gave $20,000 to Dutchess Outreach in 2023 for addressing and eradicating malnourishment in the Greater Poughkeepsie area, and $15,000 to Family Services Inc in 2023 for services for battered women, children, and local at-risk youth. Education and wellness also appear in the portfolio, including $10,000 to Norwalk Community College Foundation for its Center for Science, Health, and Wellness.
How Nuvance Health Gives
Typical grants are modest and fairly tightly grouped: p25 is $7,015, median is $10,125, and p75 is $17,000. The recent grants table shows repeated awards to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. Nuvance Health appears to give through its own health-system giving rather than a public nonprofit application process, and the provided program page says unsolicited requests are not accepted. The pattern is regional, with grants clustered around health, community welfare, and local institutions.
