The Paul Patton Charitable Trust concentrates its giving on clinical and community health in the Kansas City region, with a clear emphasis on medical research and mental health clinical trials. Most dollars flow to a major pediatric medical center for research and development, while smaller awards support local clinical research initiatives and community health providers serving underserved populations.
Highly concentrated: a small number of relatively large grants (including repeated support to a single institution) focused on research and clinical work rather than broad, diversified philanthropy.
