About Onelegacy Foundation

Onelegacy Foundation’s grantmaking is anchored by organ and tissue donation work, with support flowing to donor families, recipients, transplantation education, and community outreach. The largest recent award in the data went to Onelegacy for general support at $7,037,566, showing that the foundation directs substantial resources to its own mission infrastructure as well as outside partners. Other sizable grants went to The Regents UCLA (sponsorships) at $486,069 and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center at $235,131, both for general support. The recent record also shows a mix of mission-aligned philanthropy across healthcare, education, and community groups. Awards reached hospitals, medical schools, and local organizations, including Keck Medicine of USC, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and Pasadena Tournament of Roses. Several recipients appear in more than one year, which points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated one-time awards. The foundation’s programming includes scholarships, fellowships, community grants, and requests for proposals tied to donation awareness, transplantation support, and donor family services. A strong California concentration runs through the grant record, but the recipient list also includes organizations in other states.

What Onelegacy Foundation Funds

In healthcare and transplant-related work, Onelegacy Foundation gave $130,000 to UCLA School of Medicine for scientific research and fellowship grants, and $26,321 to The Cleveland Clinic Foundation for scientific research and fellowship grants. Those awards sit alongside support for other medical institutions, indicating that research and professional development are part of the foundation’s approach. Community outreach is another clear lane. The foundation awarded $195,000 to Pasadena Tournament of Roses for community outreach and education grants, and $100,000 to Ava's Heart Foundation for the same category. It also funded Comfort Zone Camp with $102,000 for community outreach and education grants. Donor-family and patient-adjacent support shows up in general support grants to organizations such as The Painted Turtle, Molly Steinsapir Foundation, and Liver Health Foundation, suggesting a broader interest in grief support and family services around transplantation and serious illness.
