The Oracle Health Foundation (formerly First Hand Foundation) primarily channels its philanthropy through donor-advised fund (DAF) transfers while also making direct programmatic grants focused on child and community health and local faith-based initiatives. Large, concentrated transfers to national DAF providers dominate the dollar totals, but the foundation shows targeted support for pediatric health programs, community wellness centers tied to churches, Christian education in the Kansas City area, and occasional military family/veteran-focused grants.
Oracle Health Foundation Fka First Hand Foundation’s recent giving is defined by a single very large donor-advised fund transfer: $12,311,449 to The National Philanthropic Trust in 2024. That scale sits alongside a smaller stream of direct program grants, which points to a foundation that uses both intermediary vehicles and targeted local philanthropy. In its direct grants, Healthe Kids Institute appears repeatedly with program support in 2023 and 2025, showing an ongoing relationship rather than a one-time award. The foundation also funded other Kansas City-area organizations across health, faith-based, and education settings, including St Sabina Wellness Center, Northland Christian Education System, New Life Community Church, and Visitation Catholic Church. Beyond Missouri and Kansas, it has also supported organizations tied to family and military services, such as The Elizabeth Dole Foundation and Military Family Advisory Network. The pattern suggests a funder that combines administrative pass-through grants with place-based support for health and community organizations, especially in the Kansas City region.
Health-related grantmaking is a recurring theme. Oracle Health Foundation Fka First Hand Foundation gave $897,100 in 2023, $484,999 in 2024, and $603,408 in 2025 to Healthe Kids Institute for program support. It also granted $62,500 in 2023 and $62,500 in 2024 to Children's Medical Center Foundation for program support, reinforcing a pediatric care emphasis. Community and faith-linked projects form another strand: the foundation awarded $100,000 to St Sabina Wellness Center in Belton, Missouri, and $39,400 to New Life Community Church in Kansas City for program support. Education also appears in the mix, with $65,000 to Northland Christian Education System for program support and $31,136 to Visitation Catholic Church. Military family support is present as well through program support to The Elizabeth Dole Foundation and Military Family Advisory Network.
Typical grants sit in a moderate range, with a p25 of $7,000, a median of $11,300, and a p75 of $25,500. The overall pattern is mixed: a small number of very large donor-advised fund transfers drive the dollar total, while direct program grants are usually much smaller. The foundation is a public charity, not a private family foundation, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Recurring support is visible in the grant list, especially through repeated program grants to the same organizations across multiple years and repeated transfers to donor-advised fund intermediaries.
