Oscar de la Hoya Foundation

About Oscar de la Hoya Foundation

A $150,000 grant to Adventist Health White Memorial anchors the Oscar De La Hoya Foundation’s recent grantmaking and points to a clear pattern: the foundation backs local health infrastructure alongside sports-linked community philanthropy. Its grants in the file are all U.S.-based and all directed to California recipients, with support flowing to Los Angeles-area institutions and a smaller gift to a Las Vegas sports nonprofit. The foundation’s health giving centers on direct support for hospital services, including medical capacity and care delivery in East Los Angeles and Boyle Heights. On the sports side, it has supported an athlete-led charitable organization, the Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation, through general support. It also made a smaller grant to Vegas Force Foundation Org, showing that its sports-related giving extends beyond Los Angeles when the recipient aligns with community sports activity. The overall picture is of a locally focused foundation that combines community health, hospital support, and boxing-adjacent philanthropy. The grant record suggests a preference for direct, practical support rather than broad thematic dispersion, with grants aimed at organizations already operating in the communities it prioritizes.

What Oscar de la Hoya Foundation Funds

In health care, the foundation gave $150,000 to Adventist Health White Memorial for general support, reflecting its emphasis on hospital services in Los Angeles. The active grant-program descriptions also point to breast cancer services, chemotherapy capacity, labor and delivery, and neonatal intensive care as part of that health focus. Education appears in its support for East Los Angeles youth and school-based initiatives through community grantmaking and charter-school-related programming. The program descriptions connect that work to student services, scholarships, and educational resources. Youth development is another visible theme. The foundation’s stated program areas include after-school programs and positive-outcome supports for East Los Angeles youth, as well as community opportunity and prevention efforts tied to gang violence, juvenile delinquency, and substance abuse prevention. Its sports philanthropy is reflected in the $44,700 general-support grant to Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation, linking the foundation to athlete-led charitable work.
