About Palm Healthcare Foundation
Palm Healthcare Foundation Inc. concentrates its recent grantmaking on Palm Beach County health systems, with a large share of funding going to nursing scholarships and place-based community health initiatives. The biggest recent award in the record is $987,882 to George Snow Scholarship Fund in Boca Raton for nursing scholarships, a signal that workforce development is a major part of the foundation’s approach. Other large grants show a parallel emphasis on neighborhood health work: $398,300 to Housing Partnership Inc for the Culture of Health Network - Healthier Lake Worth Beach and $307,275 to Pathways to Prosperity for Culture of Health Network - Healthier Boynton Beach Year 7. The foundation also funds mental health access and training. In 2023, it gave $132,128 to Alpert Jewish Family & Children Services for Mental Health First Aid, and it supported NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) of Palm Beach County with $62,020 for Integrative Resilience Training. Across the recent record, the pattern is local, health-focused, and tied to community collaboration in Palm Beach County.
What Palm Healthcare Foundation Funds
Nursing education is one of the clearest themes in the grant record. Palm Healthcare Foundation Inc. awarded $75,000 to Palm Beach Atlantic University for Volunteer Nurse Corp, and its active scholarship programs are built around nursing and behavioral health professions. Mental health training is another recurring area: the foundation gave $132,128 to Alpert Jewish Family & Children Services for Mental Health First Aid and later provided $81,318 for the same purpose. Brain health appears as a separate line of work, with $65,106 to the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine for Dr, Mitrani heart research and $64,091 in a later year for the same project. Community health infrastructure also shows up in place-based grants, including $40,000 to Palm Beach County Medical Society Services for Colonoscopy screening network, which links preventive care to local access.
How Palm Healthcare Foundation Gives
Typical grant sizes cluster in the low tens of thousands: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $25,000, and the 75th percentile is $36,964. The recent record also includes a small number of much larger awards, such as a nearly $1 million nursing scholarship grant. The foundation gives through a mix of scholarship funds, program grants, general operating support, and direct support for local initiatives. Some recipients appear in multiple years, including George Snow Scholarship Fund, Pathways to Prosperity, Community Partners of South Florida, Cox Science Center and Aquarium, and University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, which indicates repeat support rather than one-time-only giving. Several active scholarship funds accept unsolicited applications.
